In the last 24 hours I have spent about 16 of them in a mask. I don't think I would have survived that in the beforetimes. Good thing I've had lots of practice over the last couple of years!
I am not impressed with the "partnership" between Aero Mexico and WestJet. We were supposed to fly to Vancouver at 7:30PM on Thursday, arriving in Queretaro at 10AM on Friday. We got switched onto a 10:15 flight to Vancouver with a 12-hour layover in Vancouver before continuing our journey. I'm pretty sure that WestJet only lets Aero Mexico have spots on the planes if they can't fill them with other people. The two websites don't talk to each other. The way the airlines operate are so different that the WestJet staff didn't know what to do with us. We couldn't check-in online for ANY of the legs... because... nothing worked right between Aero Mexico and WestJet. Just meh. But, super grateful for Michel who was willing to come pick us up super early to take us to the airport so we could deal with all the issues first thing.
Among other things I'm not impressed with is the Aero Mexico website. Every time they change our itinerary (and the do it often) they send an email with a link where I can go to "accept" the change. I click "accept" and it says thank you... but nothing changes, and I keep getting messages that I have to accept. I can't do ANYTHING else until it works. And I end up having to phone a person to tell them that I accept. Bleah.
On the list of things I'm grateful for... Brent's brother, Doug, for picking us up at YVR and entertaining us for the day, Brent's niece, Lisa and her boyfriend, David, for letting us hang out for hours at their apartment. Best 12-hour layover ever!!
