Just found out that flights on BOTH our outbound (21st) and return (28th) itinerary have changed!
OUTBOUND:
It turns out that the Calgary-Toronto segment for the 21st was cancelled by Air Canada
so we're going to leave a day earlier instead. So if anyone else is booked for the 21st, you'll have to switch to the 20th or 22nd (I saw cmyden's post on beyond.ca and it looks like they were notified a couple of days ago).
RETURN:

Originally I was supposed to be flying from MAH to MAD on Sept 28, but they changed this, and now I'm going from MAH to MAD on Sept 27 and spending a night in Madrid, and going back to Canada on the 28th.

We were told the same thing that Zarathustra was told (2+ months ago!) -- the Menorica to Madrid segment on the 28th was cancelled (?) so they gave us the option of leaving Menorca on the 27th, spending the night in Madrid (at our own expense), and then flying back to Toronto/Calgary on the 28th as scheduled. Originally tried to get us on an 11:20 pm flight to Madrid, but we got the 12:55 pm flight which will give us some time to see the City. I agree it'll be nice to spend a night in Madrid -- it just sucks to have to rearrange hotel bookings and such, since we already made reservations.
FFR -- I'll send you a PM but I'm guessing your return trip on the 28th will be changed as well.
Also, as cmyden posted on beyond.ca -- we made two separate reservations from my account but only one of us was notified about the change in the outbound flight (and there was no mention of the change in the return flight, in the email or on our Orbitz account!).
