That would be from Edmonton to Toronto from takeoff to landing -- a distance of about 2,700 kilometres.

And how long did it take Air Canada to move my baggage from the aircraft at Terminal 1's Gate 145 to Luggage Carousel 3, maybe 800 to 1,000 metres (that would be a guesstimate)?

An hour!

I was in line to report my bag as missing and was in the on-deck circle when the bag magically appeared.

Call me demanding, but that's atrocious service.

Addendum

I'm a whiner with no sense of proportion. CTV Edmonton reported Tuesday, Jan. 8 that hundreds of passengers flying through Edmonton International Airport with Air Canada have been waiting up to five days for their luggage to show up.
