Air Canada changed flight time...

[CdnDisneyNut]

again
Departure time on the return trip was originally scheduled for 7:15pm. It was changed to 3:30. and now I just got a notice that it has been changed again to 1:30pm. If i get any more notices I will be leaving in the early AM.

So sorry Mike,

I guess better check out our times!

I will hate it if it changes to one of those leaving at 7:00 from MCO! No Way Hose!

It looks like Air Canada has dropped the evening flight from Orlando to Toronto! I searched a number of dates and the only options were 8:00 am or 12:15 pm! Sure hope they return a later flight to the schedule!

I checked our flights but they don't reflect the change!

They still show us as coming back at 1:30 but when I plug in the dates there is not 1:30 flight!

Could prove interesting!

Yikes...you guys are scaring me with all these AC changes being posted...so I just checked the AC site (again) and my flights don't exist any more. Time for a call to AC.

 

[DisneyLisa]

Yes...they have all changed. They offered to change my flights or refund my money. I'm so confused...don't know what to do but have to decide quickly. So much for booking so far in advance & paying more thinking you have the "perfect" flights. Thanks everyone for posting about these changes or I'd never have known.

Oh & just adding that I was told flights/times will probably change again before we leave. This is NOT fun.

I decided to call because still got the "Technical Difficulty" for our December Flights!

Those changed also!

October was no longer there but my flight # changed!

DD says, "No Flight, hey at least we are in Orlando!" Very Funny!

I had them send off new emails!

It's like playing "Roulette"!

Well I just rebooked ours but I'm really ticked off. I had originally paid about $250 more to get the flights I wanted (direct flight from Ottawa to Orlando) and later flight home. Now we're transferring in Toronto both ways & I know those options were much cheaper originally. Had I known this would happen, I would have just booked the cheapest flights available at the time (booked in May)...of course there's no refund on my "overpayment". I wish there were other options for me now but from Ottawa, we're limited...Westjet is about $300 more.

I was told again that flights will probably change before we leave...what fun.

I wasn't able to view my flights on-line either Janet..."Technical Difficulties".

At least AC only changes their flights every 2 months or so (usually). NW seems to change them almost weekly. Lots of fun to keep up with when you're trying to keep track of changes for clients.

Oh my gosh what is going on with AC . I hope everyone's flights get sorted out. I was planning on travelling again in Feb. and I think I'm going to try a different airline this time.

Disneylisa I know how you feel. I also booked way in advance and paid more for the flight I wanted, and then that flight dissapeared. I just hope my new flight doesn't change!

 

[filet1970]

Reading you all, I thank God I didn't book with AC. Not only were they more expensive but with all the problems they've had and still have...I didn't want to take the chance. Still...spent so much time comparing where to fly from (Ott or Mtl), companies (and type of planes used!!!!) but mostly flight times to get the most of our vacation.... finally booked with US Airways but I still don't know if it was a good thing...guess I'll find out! Has anyone ever flown US Airways?

Still....I'M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!!!! :

 

[DisneyLisa]

I wish we had better options from Ottawa. I rebooked with connecting flights in Toronto but I'm thinking I'd rather go through Montreal..I don't like having to switch between Terminal 1 & 2 in Toronto with a 2.5 hour layover in order to do it. We'd save 1 hour of travel time transferring in Montreal. Is everything in one terminal there? I've never flown through Montreal.

Another option is to drive to the US and take a flight from there (we'd save about $600 CAD ) but you just never know what the weather will be like in March so don't think I want to risk it.

 

[princess pooh]

Montreal is all in one terminal. It can be quite a walk to get to customs but you don't have to take a bus or go outside. I think the reason for the long layover is because you have to go through customs.
I had to switch terminals at Pearson the first day the new terminal opened and I almost missed my connecting flight! It took forever for them to transport passengers and luggage. I'm sure they've gotten their act together by now though.

 

[filet1970]

Lisa I actually think that it's only one terminal. Only time I've flown from Montreal was within Canada but as I remember it it's only one... they used to only fly US and Canada so it's not as big or confusing for that matter as Toronto. To make sure, check the website. Don't know exact address but a quick look thru Google for Montreal airports (Dorval is now Pierre-Elliot-Trudeau airport)é

I didn't specify in my message before but decided to fly from Ottawa...I work there and my mom's there so it's less of a hassle! That also means that the dog and cat will spend less time at the vet or kennel ???? ...well, arrangements still haven't been decided. Would anyone have suggestions for a good place in the Ottawa region (inc. Quebec side)?
Hope this helps!

 

[filet1970]

Just a note to everyone flying from Toronto! Make sure to verify the terminal with the airport or the company. Was there in May and my electronic ticket said that the flight was from Terminal x (don't remember which one) when it was in fact departing from another one. Thank god the driver of the shuttle bus told me it was wrong and I chose to listen to him!!!!

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to check my flight times on the AC website? I'm flying to Orlando from Toronto on Oct 26 and returning Nov 6. I'm just not sure where to go on the site to see if there have been any changes. After reading all these posts, I'm getting a little nervous!

Thanks so much!

And thanks, filet1970, for the tip re checking about the terminal number! I wouldn't have thought of doing this at all!

 

[Scratch42]

Go to the AC website and plug your dates in.

Then check against the flight #'s that show up.

If you booked thru a TA then have her check to make sure your flights are OK!

[Lynda Silk]

Thanks Scratch! I'll do that right now!

 

[ontariodisneywoman]

Our flight has been changed about 5 times now we are bouncing between times and flight numbers.

I checked my intinerary on the web site and found out that there are two more changes we have not been notified about so another letter will arrive soon.


My DU in Vancouver who is flying out of Seattle to meet us at WDW is also experiencing the same thing with his flight in October.

 

[Amberle3]

Anyone who had a ZIP flight as part of their itinerary will have had a change of some kind, as ZIP is now ZILCH, ZERO, NADA etc.

OTOH if your flight doesn't leave for a couple of months, don't worry - you're bound to have at least one more sked change between now and then anyway.
