Libby Znaimer is joined by Monette Pasher, Interim President, Canadian Airports Council, and Dr. Gabor Lukacs,  Founder and President  of Air Passenger Rights.

Air travellers continue to be plagued by long lineups, delays and airline flight cancellations as they go through Pearson International airport. An ex-NHL star posted a video to his socials earlier this week to vent about being stranded alongside other passengers as Air Canada cancelled his flight. We've heard other horror stories too like that of a Canadian wedding bride who was late to her own wedding in the States because of a flight delay. Even the Mayor of Toronto has weighed in to the issue calling it "unacceptable". So, what's happening? A lot of it has to do with ongoing COVID-19 measures still in place like screening and airport staffing shortages. But, at a time when air travel is reaching its peak season, shouldn't the government be doing a whole lot more to address the problem? And, what rights do passengers really have when treated like this? Finally, has all of this made travel no fun anymore?
