By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C) @doctorow.pluralistic.net · 07/10/2026I couldn't believe it. I actually called Air Canada's customer service line for "Elite" fliers, and the customer service rep was at a loss for an explanation and could only apologise and suggest that I write a letter to the company. 21013

By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C) @doctorow.pluralistic.net · 07/10/2026Yesterday, I finished buying the ticket in my logged-out Firefox window (Air Canada's website will work with Firefox to buy tickets provided you don't try to log in to your Aeroplan account first), paying $829. 4924
Ernst-Jan de Groot @groenemachine.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I have come to hate booking tickets so much for this reason, that I’d rather pay someone to do this for me. I’d still pay too much, but at least I don’t have to watch myself rage against a website. Taking the train whenever possible anyway, just with ever more reason to do so. 010
