ST. JOHN'S – A woman who fell asleep on a flight
to Newfoundland and wound up in England has been offered 15,000 bonus
aeroplan miles by the airline. Air Canada apologized to Catherine Coyle
late Monday and offered her the air miles for her troubles. The airline
also said she was partly responsible for falling asleep on the 90-minute
flight from Halifax to St. John's and not waking up on time. Last
Thursday, the Cole Harbour, N.S., woman was on a flight to visit her ill
mother. She fell asleep and woke up to hear the pilot announce a 4-hour
flight time. The plane was half an hour out of St. John's heading
for London. Coyle had apparently slept through the landing at St. John's
and a 30-minute stopover before the flight for England. No one had tried
to wake her up to check her ticket. The pilot refused to turn the plane
around and she had to continue to Heathrow airport, where she waited two
hours for a return flight.
