I've had layovers at Detroit Int'l Airport, Toronto Pearson, and Montreal Mirabel (I think). Detroit was the worst... it was fine when we went from Ottawa to Detroit from Northwest and then to Orlando by Northwest, but on the way back it was brutal. I can't remember how many times in those two days that we were scheduled on flights back to Ottawa and how each time something went wrong. Once they even claimed to have "lost the plane". I honestly don't understand how that could happen. We ended up staying overnight at a Best Western and the next day they flew us by Northwest to Montreal and then from Montreal to Ottawa by Air Canada (20 minute flight). The Montreal airport (I am pretty sure it was Mirabel) was fairly old and we had to go out on the runway to get into our plane. Seemed fairly old fashioned to me. Through the course of that trip, we certainly did lose our luggage (it was impossible not to lose it as we had been scheduled on so many flights ). That was my first time flying. My second time flying was from Ottawa to Toronto via Air Canada and then from Toronto to Regina, SK via Air Canada Jazz. We lost our luggage this time as well as the luggage never made it on the plane to Regina and stayed in Toronto. They did, however, get the luggage back on the next flight from Toronto to Regina and delivered it to our hotel. The return flight went smoothly with no loss of luggage.
