… Or are we?
8:45am – Clyde River Airport
The boarding pass machine has broken down.
Of course it has.
9:10am – Still at Clyde River Airport
The boarding pass machine is fixed!
And the agent tells us the plane from Pond Inlet will be able to pick us up today!
Things are looking up.
The agent demands our boarding pass. He fixes a neon green sticker on it. The sticker says they’re not responsible for our food or lodging if weather forces the plane to divert.
“Divert?,” I ask…. “But I thought you said the plane was landing today?”
“It might here,” the guy said. “But the weather is so bad in Iqaluit, you might not be able to land there.”
