A passenger in Toronto films checked bags being handled roughly on arrival, and the interaction is fascinating – as well as the reactions on social media.
I wanted to get to the airport because our tickets would allow us to visit the Air Canada Signature Suite. I was really looking forward to this! I’d been before and I was blown away. I’ve also been to the one in Vancouver and it was very special. So I happily plunked down extra miles for my family to visit.

A passenger is speaking out about their experience on Monday’s Delta Air Lines flight 4819 disaster. They were on board the Minneapolis to Toronto flight that crashed at the airport.
