Canadians stuck for 3 days trying to get home from Mexico: "This is ridiculous"

A dream vacation in Mexico turned into a nightmarish situation for more than 100 Canadian travellers, who spent three days being shuffled around between resorts and the airport — and say they received zero communication from their airline.

Calgary resident Bryce Drohan was supposed to fly home on Saturday from Tulum, where WestJet launched a weekly flight to the resort town south of Cancun in the Mayan Riviera last year.

That didn’t happen.

“Long story short, our flight Saturday apparently had a hydraulic issue on the right side of the plane,” Drohan said, explaining the departure kept getting delayed until 14 hours later, the entire flight was cancelled.
