@AirCanada 3 hours 48 min call (after 75+ failed calls)🤯🤯🤯 we have rebooked flight 4 days later…on @AirCanada . 🥳
(Sure hope there are no cancellations…! )
Thanks so much to the wonderful Rowina for sorting out the flights 🙏

[Manisha Thomas @ManishaThomas]

@AirCanada @AirCanada cancelled our Monday evening flight; said AC couldn’t rebook & won’t let us change it online; and say “Contact us”. 3 days and some 75 attempts later, we still can’t get a human: just get hung up on. So how are we supposed to “contact” you??

In 2023, more aid workers died by violence than in any previous year, with 280 fatalities. More than half of these deaths (163) were #aidworkers killed in the first 3 months of the conflict in #Gaza. Download the @AWSDatabase Figures here - https://t.co/2H76qxENQP #WHD2024

@MontreuxJazz Why are there no #water points at the festival and we are refused tap water at #LaStation in the festival grounds in this heat?? Do you want people to pass out? It’s a violation of human rights in #Switzerland that has perfectly drinkable water!

[Manisha Thomas @ManishaThomas]

@MontreuxJazz denying tap water in the heat?! Want people to pass out in the heat & deny the #RightToWater ?
#Switzerland=safe tap water.
@PaleoFestival has the right approach: free water points (=happier festivalers who drink more).🥳
