Homeward bound
Having spent six months in Florida, it was time for our snowbirds to return home to Ontario. After learning that their Orlando International-Toronto Pearson flight had been cancelled by Air Canada, they rebooked to fly home from Tampa, confiding: “We had accepted that we would be doing the Toronto hotel quarantine for three days.”
But their Tampa flight was also cancelled, and they were rebooked yet again on a direct flight to Pearson from Fort Lauderdale, some four hours away from their Florida residence. “This would mean renting a car and a hotel stay prior to the flight,” which they deemed to be too far and would entail too many interactions with people “so we cancelled this flight” and went with Plan C. Booking a flight out of Tampa with Frontier Airlines and landing in Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) turned out to be the most convenient option.
