Rare ceilidh1 Posted September 5, 2023 #2203 Share Posted September 5, 2023 1 hour ago, #55worktoplay said: Well I guess it wouldn’t hurt to ask. I have had success in the past but it was a long time ago. I never accept a flight via Toronto with less than at least 2 hours in between but that’s after many trips via Toronto. THIS!!! There are so few places that you can fly direct from Vancouver for some reason...but wherever I'm flying in the US, I hands down refuse to connect in Toronto unless there is at least 3 hours connection time. In the past, not only did you have to clear customs there, but you had to actually collect luggage and re-drop it as well. I missed way too many connections and learned the hard way! 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratford1950 Posted September 5, 2023 #2204 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Without a doubt 1) Air Canada sucks and 2) Pearson is absolutely abysmal…I say that as someone who lives about 90 minutes away. If I could fly another airline and not leave from Toronto I would. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a dual citizen born and raised in Canada now living in the US. It has taken me YEARS to stop asking “where is the washroom, please?” Apart from confused looks I was once led to the “laundry room” during a college tour with my daughter. Hehe. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BohJang Posted September 5, 2023 #2206 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Sorry about missing your flight Greg. My son had a problem flying from Alberta through Toronto to get to NY a few months ago. By the time his plane landed in Toronto around 8:00 PM Customs was closed. He was told too bad - he missed his flight but somehow got Air Canada to pay for a hotel room for the night. He was able to get the first flight out the next morning but he was really pissed. He said never again on Air Canada or through Toronto. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Haljo1935 Posted September 5, 2023 #2209 Share Posted September 5, 2023 @Saint Greg really enjoyed your review and pictures. Feel absolutely horrible for you that your trip ended on such a sour note; hope you find a way to get some rest and feel better. AND actually make it home w/no more drama. Hope your boss understands and that NCL resolves properly. I look forward to seeing the rest of your pictures and following your next review. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bed is a little stiff but it has plenty of outlets and some natural light. Nice breeze from the vent. Think I got 20 mins of sleep.

I walked by one in this area it looked like a little piece of garbage. But I’m in a small area of the terminal. Like 12’gates. Not many people. looks new. I think it’s for the regional jets. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riles34 Posted September 5, 2023 #2214 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Another chaotic weekend at Pearson leads former NHL star Ryan Whitney to declare it ‘worst airport on earth’ https://www.thestar.com/business/another-chaotic-weekend-at-pearson-leads-former-nhl-star-ryan-whitney-to-declare-it-worst/article_66b66b02-9325-596f-ac1a-f8cac3f1d82c.html Hope you don't get stuck at Pearson for 25 hours! The twitter video is comical in that article so maybe you can get a chuckle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCL must know that 30 mins doesn't give a damn chance to make a flight. Some people miss flights with a 5 hour layover!

Shaded Lady Posted September 5, 2023 #2216 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Pearson used to be the best experience ever when I lived in Toronto! So the first time I went back there after I moved to FLA I was shocked at how horrible it had gotten! We waited for an hour to scan our passports, then over 2 hours to go through Customs and Immigration! NOT IMPRESSED! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twice we came across a person lying across the armless seats, and each time I counted out loudly each seat the person was lying across, like “One two three four”. That worked as either the person woke up and moved or somebody else woke the person up to tell her to sit up as there were other ppl wanting to sit down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was pretty much this entire area of the terminal. Even when I got up there were only two people in the area 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#55worktoplay Posted September 5, 2023 #2223 Share Posted September 5, 2023 @Saint Greg I feel for you. Not only are you feeling like crap, you had a red eye and instead of enjoying most of the day unpacking and rewinding you are stuck spending money waiting time on an airport floor. They really screwed up with that flight and they owe you big time as far as I’m concerned. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted September 5, 2023 Author #2224 Share Posted September 5, 2023 What’s supposed to be good at that Tim hortons? Donuts? what I had this morning wasn’t great. Went by before this and they were still on breakfast so I guess that’s all they do. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted September 5, 2023 Author #2225 Share Posted September 5, 2023 AC sent me an offer the other day to upgrade to business class for 400CAD. Imagine if I took them up on that and they said “sorry you don’t get anything back.” 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
