We didn't stay overnight in Toronto, we were one of those people that had to fight to get rebooked for the next day or a red eye to catch our boat. What was crazy about the whole situation was some people got rebooked right away once the flight was cancelled. I'm perplexed. Our flight was not cancelled due to weather and to be honest there was no reason why they just "explained" the tow truck wasn't big enough to get off the tarmac. We were told twice it was a delay and twice I told the hotel directly it's delay and by the 3rd time AC decided to cancel the flight and with the unknown of getting a flight or not, I told the hotel we were not coming.
But lesson learned and I'm ok with that. Trip cancellation insurance all the way!
@Tango99 that's crazy, I'm crying for you!! That's like resort price!!!
@Travelexpert35 that's good to know about TD since I'm with TD anyway!
@canadianbear no compensation whatsoever, it was a very chaotic night at YYZ.
Thank you all! I will definitely be doing buying trip ins. for the next trip!
