Cheated!

Two weeks ago I went to London to be there for the third of my 4 college roommates to get married. (Ellie! Its you and me now....)

I decided to fly Air Canada primarily because it's a partner with United, and I'm all about the miles, and the flight was super-cheap. And super-long. 17 hours out there, to be exact, which doesn't take into account the 2 hour delay we ran into in Calgary. I will never do that again, though I have to say, the flights are nice: Personal video screens, video/game/music libraries to choose from, tasty food (and fruit!), and lots of leg room in Economy.

What DID get me was the cheating they engaged in. Yes, cheating. You see, I decided to have some extra snacks on the first leg of my flight since we were delayed out of San Fran and I hadn't had a chance to have dinner. Thankfully, they had excellent choices, including pepperoni pizza and fresh apples with caramel sauce, which I chose to have. This came out to a nice total of 5 US dollars OR 5 Canadian dollars. I thought, well, drat! I don't have 5 Canadian dollars, which is the equivalent of about 4 US dollars (so I could have gotten my meal essentially for a dollar cheaper).

I thought, ok, oh well, its a dollar or whatever. And then, when I only had a $10 US bill, they gave me my change in Candian dollars!!!! CHEATERS!

*sigh*....
