Flight was delayed this morning coming out of Calgary, and am now sitting in the Vancouver airport waiting for 5 hours as I missed the connector (heading to Portland).

Long story short. I've slept 5 hours the last 2 days, and all I wanted was access to the Air Canada lounge after their (AC's) delays caused me to miss my connection. I didn't think it was a big deal.....I mean the reason I missed my connector was because the plane was late coming into Calgary from Toronto. Not weather. Not mechanical. Probably some boob holding the flight up because his suit coat doesn't fit in the business class cargo hold (heheheheh). All I wanted was some quiet and maybe a free newspaper.

Their answer? No. Apparently my "Prestige" card is not so prestige after all. All I get for my aeroplan level is a fancy card with my name on it...and upgrade certificatees that don't work. Ever. Hell, I even offered to pay for access, and was even denied that. The pompous dink at the counter looked puzzled I ws even asking him. "who is this strange young man who thinks he can get free access to MY lounge? not on my watch!" Never one to give in easily, I called Air Canada and complained some more. Still nothing. I am however in front of the lounge stealing free internet, so I think I might just download some lengthy porn movies. Screw me will ya! We'll see who gets the last laugh!

This is the last time I fly with these idiots, and as someone who flies worldwide on a regular basis, I'm looking for suggestions as to another carrier. I have one of those Avion Visa cards as well, so an air miles program is not necessary. I fly to the Western USA as well as China/Korea all the time, and have always used AC. NO MORE! Has anybody flown Horizon or Alaska airlines? Westjet is fine within Canada, but for US connections I need suggestions. Singapore Airlines is pretty swank as well. Sexy stuardesses who want to help you, not smoke-a-pack-a-day-and-take-pleasure-in-chargin-you-$2-for-a-blanket crusty old hags.

Oh yeah.....bitter old ticket lady who lost my passport: I hope you lead a lonely, bitter life with the only highlight being free flights on your company's 1928 747 with no functional seatbelts and headphones that don't work.

Yeesh.
