You should probably mention how Aeroplan doeantbgave a functioning website or phone line when things break.

We just came back from Europe via Air Canada and they are cancelling most late afternoon/evening connecting flights. Hundreds of people stranded, few resources manning customer service counters and nobody answering the phone (was quoted a 2+ hr. wait on the AC 25K elite line). Web site self-service is poor. It will easily take you 1-2 hrs. lines to transit thru security and then another 1-2 hrs. for US CBP pre-clearance if you don’t have Global Entry. Heaven help you if you are checking a bag – I’m finally home in the US after being rebooked thru ORD the next day on United but my checked bags are still sitting in YYZ terminal 1.

YYZ is in serious meltdown mode right now due to staffing issues, maybe even worse than what I’ve read about Heathrow. Avoid it.
