A short flight from Toronto devolved into a 10-hour nightmare for passengers Toronto Travel

What should have been a short 3.5-hour hop from Toronto to Saskatoon turned into a day-long travel nightmare for a planeload of Flair Airlines passengers.

While on board the plane on the ground in Winnipeg, passengers reported that no food or drinks were served and that flight attendants even provided tap water from the aircraft's lavatory — whichAdding insult to injury, after the plane landed, the airline announced to passengers that the aircraft would fly back to Toronto instead of proceeding to the scheduled destination. Police were reportedly dispatched to calm irate passengers as the plane descended into a hostile scene for airline crews.
