Because of the Star Alliance and the low demand to Thailand at the time... they put the Vancouver to Hong Kong along with those going from Vancouver to Thailand flight (Hong Kong transfer, same plane) together taking up absolutely every single seat possible.

Ok, then next time they'll just send up two airplanes at 45% capacity.....comon what are you complaining about. If they use the above logic your ticket would go up by 250% in price

That packed the plane up a little bit, then The Thailand thing once again! So some people who had seats on their plane had to change airlines and delayed their return. Then the Vancouver - Calgary flight was horrific. There was snow in both Vancouver and Calgary. The Hong Kong Flight was delayed as well, and some people connect to a 1:00 PM Vancouver - Calgary flight but the Hong Kong flight came in at like 12:30 and they couldn't get to that connector flight in time. So Air Canada decides to push them down to the 2:00 flight (which I was originally booked to get) and that flight was supposed to leave at 2:00 PM but first they had to switch aircrafts to accomodate a bigger mass (older 767 I believe) and they we had to sit in the plane for 3 friggin hours while they wait in line for de-icing. Really Screw Air Canada.

You want to die next time? haha.........I think its the weather that you really hate and not airlines man. Their doing their best to cut costs and integrate it with scheduling and the weather. Their losing money the way it is so they have every right to "pack the planes"

I don't know where your going with this man, you just seem frustrated and are venting, if your really serious about what you said then try taking trains or boats.
