One of my more memorable flights. On a trip to California, I used connecting flights to save $160 total. After a rocky flight over the Rockies from LAX-DEN, we found out the plane coming from YYZ-DEN had a mechanical issue and a new one had to come in. On top of that Denver was going through a heat wave, so with the high altitude, they had to ask some people to stay in Denver overnight. The flight was due to arrive in Toronto sometime after 11pm, but with all the delays we didn't land until after 1am EST. YYZ closes around 1 or 2am so we were one of the last flights to get in. We left our hotel around 9am PST. As well, YYZ generally uses its east-west runways, but they used one of the north-south ones. Who knows why. Needless to say I will never connect to save such a small amount of money again, especially with United which I hear doesn't have a great reputation for organization...
Anyway, the plane is super cute though :)
