after flying into O'hare from YWG (winnipeg) in what even I would call a pretty bad snow storm. I transfer my plane to manchester, NH. Only to be told from the cockpit "we have a failure in the water, there is no pressure, so no coffee, but we can provide you with toliets cloths if you need to use the bathroom OR wait one hour for a new plane" ONLY in America did this full plane say, "Let's go" After the first hour, this was the worst smelling cesspit I had ever experienced, not just the bathroom the whole plane, darn shared vent systems!
Oh and there was the time when on my way to Vegas, my luggage from the first plane never arrived in Vancouver. Air Canada would look for it and deliver it on the next flight. Two days later I arrive home to Winnipeg still with no luggage, just new clothes when the Vancouver police contacted me. A woman took home the wrong bag, called the airline to report it, but REFUSED to return it to the airport requesting it to be picked up when her's was dropped off. The police actually charged her with theft! Contents, untouched thankfully one week later.
I have though, never been bumped or deleted from a flight. Once(YYZ-YWG) my son (at the time 7 months old) got upgraded to business and I remained in coach, only after pointing out they would be responsible of his behaviour for pouring champange into his bottle and changing him, did they also upgrade me! So it is looks that get you upgraded, NOT your loyality points.
