Two hours after I found out that Air Canada had downgraded an aircraft type to one with fifty less seats I find myself in a minisuite at The Crowne Plaza hotel in Toronto and I'm completely knackered, hungry us hell and completely pissed off!
If they'd have told me that my flight was going to be downgraded, I could have got the earlier flight, maybe, had there been space, the boarder control lady knew there was going to be a delay, so why the fliping heck Air Canada didn't and didn't inform me is beyond all understanding. I'm trying not to get angry, they've booked me on a flight tomorrow leaving at 20.40, they've put me up in the Crowne Plaza, given me vouchers for breakfast, lunch and dinner tomorrow, or rather later today as it is now and a voucher for some dollars off another flight sometime within the next 365 days, which can be used on any of their Star Alliance partners as long as the flight I've chosen has an AC flight number, so there is a little bit of good news on this very long day.
However the down sides are more numerous, I'm knackered, I'm going to be a day late getting in to England and home to Brighton. I'm hungry, I've not eatten a thing since last nights Taco Bell thingy, I'm missing Matt, I've got no clothes to change into as my luggage has already gone to London, room service has nothing for vegetarians, breakfast is not until 6am, my laptop charge is in my suitcase, my phone charger is in my suitcase and my credit card wont work, I've got no credit on my phone to call the bank because I sent the previous photo posts from it and I can't top up my phone because my card doesn't work and on top of that I've just got US dollars in my wallet!
I shall moan not any more and get my head down for a few hours and worry about it in the morning, which is only a few hours away. Tomorrow, I'm sure is going to be a better day, well come on, lets face it, it couldn't be worse, or could it?
