After months of planning it was finally time to go to the airport. Traffic was not too bad and we got there quickly. I gave a brief thank you for the ride and a goodbye to my friends. I breezed through security and now that I got to my gate early, there is a 2.5 hour wait until departure.

We would be arriving in Toronto in the evening and the plane was only about half full. I was lucky enough to get my preferred seat next to a window and the seat next to me was empty. After I put my luggage in the overhead, a person in the row behind me opened the compartment and aggressively put his luggage on top of mine. Good thing it’s all clothes and nothing breakable in there. The flight attendant saw this and asked him to move his luggage to the compartment ahead. This will not be the last I will talk about these people. There was a slight dusting of snow on the ground. The ground crew had to spray the plane with antifreeze before take off. The plane took off on time.

15 minutes into the flight the person started to punch the back of my seat. Then halfway through the flight the person behind me started to cough up a lung. I was relieved that these events only lasted 10-15 minutes each. The flight was a pleasant experience excluding this odd behavior.

The plane landed in Toronto early, but because the ground crew was behind, we disembarked slightly late.
