The Toronto-MPL direct route uses the cutest scale model airplanes. The first time I flew to MPL, I was directed onto a bus at Terminal One or Two (I forget which) at Pearson, which took us past a series of increasingly tiny aircraft before arriving at the one we were to use. Luckily, nobody stepped on it.

After a few times flying direct, I realized that small aircraft maximize the things I hate most about flying so I took to going via Chicago, Philadelphia or Pittsburgh. Once they wanted to send me there via Seattle, which seemed like an odd route to use.

For some reason, every flight I took to MPL hit bad weather over Kitchener.
