“No humanity”: Stranded Air Canada passengers face huge price hikes on other airlines

Vivian Paguio and her family are desperate to get to Toronto for a funeral.

However, the Air Canada strike has thrown a wrench in their travel plans.

“The amount for five of us is $11,000,” Paguio told Global News as they tried to find another airline on Sunday to take them.

Paguio said they have tried to book on WestJet, Porter and others, but with no success.

“They’re gouging, obviously. It’s a business but there’s no humanity right now,” she added.

As Global’s Angela Jung reports, fares on competing airlines are suddenly taking off, prompting claims of "predatory pricing."
