Baggage breakdown at airport
A computer system breakdown Tuesday in the baggage check system at Trudeau caused a massive slowdown, on top of all the other delays that have plagued air travel in recent weeks.
If I were a more fanciful woman I’d say it was karma for mowing that wild area near the airport.

I have the dubious honour of saying I flew from airport airport during the pandemonium on that day. The staff working there demonstrated infinite patience having to deal with the disaster. The queue just for bag drop was about two hours and passengers were being told their luggage may not arrive at their destination with them, causing people to desperately go through their suitcases to grab some clothes to transfer to their carry-ons. Suitcases were piled up in the corner of the checking area, presumably to be moved to aircraft by hand. Add to that multiple delays and cancellations. Truly the worst airport experience I’ve ever had travelling, but I didn’t see one passenger lose their temper and the overwhelmed airport staff went out of their way to try and make things work.
