Toronto - Calgary
August 9th, 2003
Air Canada 119
Airbus A321
C-GJWD #457(cn 174
I arrived at terminal 2 my usual 3 hrs in advance and went to the express check in. No lines, no wait.
Waiting for the flight I must have put $15 into the arcade games beside my gate. The boarding time of 09:25 came and went and noone got onto the plane. The crew had been held up on another flight and would be arriving "shortly." 30 minutes passed and finally the crew showed up. The boarding went smoothly and we were gone in a mere 20 minutes.
The seat felt like fabrick over cardboard and the babies cry started just after takeoff. The seatbelt sign came off quickly and the flight seemed smooth. Until about Thunder Bay, when the severe turbulance started. Luckily, the crappy breakfast meal was served about 10 minutes earlier. The movie began, and let me assure you, I was not impressed with "Finding Nemo." So I figured I'd listen to the rock channel (7). It was so staticly that if you turned the music up full blast, you could just make out the words.
The turbulance stopped at about mid-Saskatewan. But the crying babies didnt.
We decended and made a VERY rough landing quickly. Taxied to the gate and that was it. Until Air Canada lost one of my bags. It showed up to my parents house at 1:00 in the morning!
It was the worst flight I've ever been on.
My rating:
Check-in: 7.0/10
Boarding: 3.0/10
meal: 4.0/10
Flight: 4.0/10
luggage pickup: 4.0/10 (At least they knew where ONE of my bags were!)
TOTAL: 5.2/10
