    It doesn’t matter what color your skin is, what your name is, or what your religion is. Air Canada will still treat you like shit.

      Until last year I’d never even heard of Air Canada, and now every time anybody mentions them all I hear is how terrible they are.

          I remember when British Airways used to actually be posh. If you were flying with BA you’d made it.

            Well despite how far it’s fallen, it’s still up on Air Canada. Their business model is running flights as a cover for taking as much government funding as they can get.

            When I was still living in Canada and my now wife was here in the UK, we discovered that booking with Air Canada was $100-$300 cheaper in the UK than in Canada.

      I have a friend named Fidel Castro. To fly from Canada to Costa Rica, his flight cannot have a connecting in the US. Is costly.

      Apparently that name is not that uncommon for South Americans born shortly after the Cuban Revolution. First name that is. He just unlucky to also be a Castro. No relation.
