Well, as they started to check-in, many of the kids were not receiving their boarding passes. I felt bad because Rob was missing work but my gut told me to stick around. I knew that if you are not confirmed on a flight, there is a chance you will not be on the flight. Rob asked me when I wanted to leave and I replied "Not until they all have their boarding passes in hand." Well, while we were grouping together, Kira's pod leader told me that they weren't all confirmed on the fight yet, so while the parents trickled out, I refused to leave. Once they had their boarding passes, they would then head in to US Customs and security. Once group photos were done and everyone organized themselves into their pods with their leaders, all of the parents said good-bye while the kids went off to the Air Canada desk to check-in all together.
We were to meet at the US departures area by 10:30am for their 2:30pm flight to Newark. By that night, they were able to rebook all of the kids on an Air Canada flight the next day, so they would still get to go, but they would lose a day. We found out just a few short hours before we were to head to the airport. They didn't actually strike but in their preparations for this possible strike, they cancelled hundreds of flights and one of them just so happened to be their NYC flight. In the days before they were due to fly, Westjest airlines was set to go on a pilot strike. They spent their lunch hours and a few weekends getting together to plan for their trip from January until May. There were about 40 kids plus chaperones going on this trip. We recently returned from a 5-night trip to the happiest place on Earth and I would to share this adventure with you.Ī little backstory is required this time.īack in November last year, an opportunity came up for our daughter Kira, to go on a school trip to New York City during their May long-weekend break. To all who come to this happy (trip report) place:
