Air Canada

Written in the Meteorology GU01 room

This email is amusing for a number of reasons. First of all it attempts to tell us that within Canada and the US we now have the exciting privilege of buying our own food because they can’t be bothered to cater to people who don’t like plastic chicken and rice. It is also obvious that I was sent this because I have a return ticket to Canada on the 13th of December – however, they didn’t seem to notice that my flight isn’t within the continental region that this information applies to. So I’m left wondering whether I’ll be able to buy expensive tiny portions of food on the airplane.
