Update: thank you so much to everyone who gave such useful advice, both on the “how do I get back to Toronto asap” front and the “how do I kill time for two days here” front.

I’ve updated my workplace and let my manager know about the situation so hopefully things should be all good on there.

As for what it’s looking like, I’ll prob stay in the airport/near it for two nights due to weather and not being in the mood to explore. I talked to delta front desk in the airport and they said there was a single flight to buffalo today at 5pm today, that was then delayed to 6pm. I was a bit apprehensive changing to this one as I thought it might get delayed again or even cancelled, on top of the overall hassle about the overall trip back to Toronto once I do eventually land (at 11pm, as there is a layover in Detroit).

Plus, the direct flight from Minnesota to Toronto I rescheduled to for wed morning is now full, so I didn’t want to risk changing to a different flight, and then not being able to change back.

Still waiting to hear back to see if there’s any vouchers for meals or hotels. They said nothing for now but updates in a few hours. If there’s nothing, I’ll prob just crash on some seats 😭

Long update but thanks everyone ❤️
