    @AirCanada when I booked my Xmas vacation, you sent me 2 reservation codes. That same day, I contacted customer support, and told them of the error. The agent told me via FB messenger I had not been charged twice, but that is incorrect. Kenji isn't responding, can you please fix

    Facebook messenger is down again. I've been using it daily for the past... 8 years at least? It's the only way I communicate with my sisters but it's getting too iffy to depend on it anymore. I'm going to have to switch the group chat to Discord or something.
