‘WestJet left me here,’ says passenger in Lisbon<\/p>\n
A woman from Miramichi, N.B., says she’s stranded in Lisbon.<\/p>\n
“WestJet left me here and I have no way to get a hold of them,” Marsha Manuel told CBC New Brunswick on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Her flight was supposed to be this morning, she said, but she received an email Monday that it had been cancelled and would be rebooked in a few hours.<\/p>\n
“That didn’t happen,” Manuel said from downtown Lisbon.<\/p>\n
She tried calling the airline all day yesterday, she said, but couldn’t get through. After waiting two and a half hours on hold, she finally connected that night with an agent \u2014 only to have the phone cut off. She called back and was looking at a five-hour wait.<\/p>\n
“That was at 1 a.m., so I decided to go to bed. I was too tired.”<\/p>\n
Manuel said when she tried to call this morning, she was looking at a seven-hour wait on hold.<\/p>\n
“So we booked the hotel that we’re at for another two nights because we have no idea when we\u2019re going home.”<\/p>\n
She says she’s had zero communication with WestJet and no information on meal vouchers or accommodations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘WestJet left me here,’ says passenger in Lisbon A woman from Miramichi, N.B., says she’s stranded in Lisbon.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":846011,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[45,49,48],"class_list":["post-846010","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-ca","tag-canada"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/846010","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=846010"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/846010\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/846011"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=846010"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=846010"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=846010"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
