An Air Canada passenger lost her business class seat after a delay and rebooking, then struck up a conversation with a stranger at the gate about elite status. It turned out that stranger was Air Canada’s COO, who gave her his business class seat.
An Air Canada passenger shared on LinkedIn that she had been traveling from Toronto (YYZ) to Montreal (YUL) when a delay and rebooking resulted in her losing her business class seat. That is never pleasant, though on a short Toronto–Montreal hop, it is at least not the end of the world.
While at the gate, she struck up a conversation with another passenger. She had recently earned Aeroplan elite status and asked him about the benefits. The two chatted for about 20 minutes.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
