I can't believe this happened 🥺 GIRLS TRIP RUINED. Toronto Travel Diaries ~ Freddy My Love 

I’m so sorry you had such a terrible experience at Pearson. As a Canadian, I’m honestly embarrassed by how atrocious that airport is. Apparently, they laid off many of their staff during COVID and haven’t been able to fully restaff, which is why their security opens so late in the morning and their customs is understaffed. I’ve had the exact same situation as you on my early morning flights from Pearson and been minutes away from missing my flights. As others mentioned, it is considered to be one of the worst airports in the world right now. All this to say, don’t give up on travel, Freddy, just give up on Pearson! Glad you enjoyed Toronto though!

You had me at "I got arrested" 🤣 Remember Freddy - there is a reason you weren't supposed to go to Bermuda. You will never know the reason likely, but be grateful for unanswered prayers. So happy you enjoyed Canada. The country and people are lovely.

I live 45 minutes from Toronto in Canada 🇨🇦. Most people are very kind here!! I hope you enjoy your time here!!! 💕

Toronto airport is a nightmare. Literally the worst. Customs before you fly is very normal in Canada, and when done properly it is so lovely to do it before, so then you don't have to worry during your layover. But I'm so sorry this happen!!!

I can just imagine the sheer stress of standing in a long queue at the airport that isn't budging as time is ticking away minute by minute to the point where your flight is due to depart, and then you rush to the gate only to just miss it. What a nightmare. Having no control over the situation just makes it all the more frustrating. Such a shame to have your trip cut short. It seemed beautiful up until that point and the Canadian people seem like a lovely bunch. Very glad you didn't delete your vlog and erase all those memories because Toronto looks beautiful.

Oh I love that lady who complimented you on your boots! I’ve had similar experiences when I went to America and found the people there to be so much nicer and more open minded. It’s such a nice gesture to compliment strangers, it will brighten up their day and it’s just such a lovely thing to do. 💗 Also Aritzia has stores in the US as well and they have a beautiful selection. As devastating as that story time has been, maybe it’s comforting to think that even if you went there 4hrs early it probably wouldn’t have made a difference and something in the universe just tells you it’s better to go next year. 💗

So sorry that your girls’ trip was ruined. Loved your Toronto outfits. The Coach shoes are really cute. 💕

I’m so pleased you didn’t delete the Toronto video, the three of you singing in the car well utterly amazing. Freddy you have a beautiful singing voice and let’s face it even in a red plastic waterproof bag you looked amazing. Have a wonderful evening you will get to Bermuda soon hopefully xxxxx

Oh Freddy! Toronto is absolutely wonderful (loved the Toronto footage!) but yes, that airport is a nightmare! I just flew there and back from NYC recently and I had a cancelled flight and three hour delay and the crowds at incoming customs were so bad at one point that they wouldn’t let people off the flights from the US because the customs hall was a fire hazard! So you aren’t alone but I’m so sad for your disappointment! It will be wonderful when you do finally go. ❤

I miss Canada so much. It's my favorite place on Earth. My dad is Canadian and my happiest days of my childhood were in Canada. My grandparents lived in the country and it was such a peaceful, quiet life. Walks down the long gravel road. Three trampolines in the backyard. The occasional train in the distance. The neighbor's dogs and horses you could pet. I believed that fairies lived in their garden until I was like 13. Oh and spiders everywhere in their basement, haha. Lots of tomato soup and noodles, homemade pizza gone wrong, eating Jello while watching cartoons - oh and Oprah, haha. Etc. My family is planning a trip to go back - hopefully soon! It's been much too long. Fingers crossed for my graduation trip!

Wow I’m so sorry your flight was such a mess! The same thing happened to me at De Gaulle airport also with American Airlines. They are kind of known for being awful with customer service, so I wasn’t surprised when you said they left you. I really feel your pain though I’ve never been more panicked in my life when it happened!! Honestly I’m never going to Paris again unless I take the train from London. But overall I’m glad Toronto seemed to go so well! Cheers from Texas💕

Your outfit when you went to get ice cream was giving major Princess Aurora vibes! You literally could play her at Disney, it’s unreal

I'm so sad for you the Bermuda trip didn't work out this time, but to be honest I loved seeing your trip to Toronto! I used to solo travel to National Parks all the time before COVID, and Toronto just has those Northern outdoorsy vibes, so this is probably my favorite travel vlog so far, really!

This is why I travel vicariously through you! I do not have the energy to go through that stress, nor will I pay for it.

Oh Freddy, you're such a character 😆 You on that Niagara Falls boat was hysterical 😄 I'm glad you laughed it off and saw it as a good experience. Also, those Coach shoes are soo nice🤎 Kinda wish you had got that pink Coach bag too 👀 the logo on it is gorgeous!😍 Really enjoyed seeing Toronto through your eyes and I'm sorry you had such an awful experience at the airport... Take care! 🤍🤗

I'm so sorry this happened to you! It's truly the worst when you do everything right and still things go wrong for no reason and without your influence. You can't even say 'next time I'll do it differently' because there was nothing you could've done better to avoid this outcome, it wasn't up to you. Hopefully your next trip will go smoothly ❤

Nothing ugly about the Coach shoes,they're beautiful.

When Freddy drops a video, you have to drop everything!

So glad you posted this Freddy, and I’m glad you had a lovely time in Toronto! Although when you said you got arrested I AUDIBLY GASPED…. Got me good gal!

Last time I was this early, Freddy was still reviewing summer dresses in her parents house 💟

I’m surprised Vanessa thought the cashmere was a blend! I don’t work for aritzia or anything but I’m obsessed with their sweaters - they’re the best quality and I think you bought the Cyprie cashmere sweater which is definitely 100% cashmere 😍

Also, I live in Toronto and it is so cute to see the city from a tourist perspective. You make the city look so magical ❤ and yes, the people really are the nicest.❤

I’m so sorry Freddy! Toronto airport is so incredibly awful. I feel for you, I really do. This past August my husband and I returned from Greece and Toronto airport lost my luggage. There was no one to ask, no help at all and no one seemed to care. I agree that the lineup is ridiculous too! Argh. We had to arrive four hours early and we were still waiting forever in line and people were pushing to get on the flight. I was so upset! 😢

I am halfway through this and literally crying at how friendly everyone is. So Canadian I love us ❤

So happy you enjoyed Toronto! It is expensive here but our currency is worth around 1/2 as much as the UK pound, so anything you bought here is 50% off!

I'm so sorry you had to deal with the airport drama! Pearson airport didn't used to be this awful but since covid it has been an absolutely disaster from hell... I hope the rest of your trip to my city went well Freddy!!

Totally relate to your story at the airport ❤ I had exactly the same thing last week at Heathrow terminal 3! I was traveling for work and after 2h in the security queue I got a notification that my flight was boarding. I’m quite junior and I’m always afraid of the consequences if I lose a flight and they have to reschedule 🤯 So… I ended up asking ~100 people ahead of me in the queue to let me go. And believe it or not, everyone understood and let me skip ahead! I made it to my flight at the very last call, all thanks to the kindness of the other travelers ❤ Next time I’m going 5h in advance to the airport!

I visited Toronto in April for 4 nights and it’s such a beautiful city. Went over Niagara Falls via a private helicopter trip - such a memorable experience and highly recommend it! That way you get to stay nice and dry 😂 I also recommend visiting the CN Tower at night, the views are spectacular. Watching the sunset over the city was breathtaking.

Freddy, so sorry to hear about the long queues and you missing your flight 😢 Thank you for sharing the fab time in Toronto, you guys singing is ace! 💖🍂☺️xx

This was such a great video! The highs and lows of life itself! Thanks for sharing about how you get worked up before travel- this is so true! No matter how wonderful it’s going to be it is stressful just getting to that point. And we all need that comfort of home in the end 😊

Oh Freddy, I am so so sorry about you missing your trip. I’m so thankful that you didn’t not post this. Parts were the funniest thing, and I laughed so hard when you all were singing. When you were on the boat brought back such fun memories to me when I went to Niagara Falls. There’s just no place to keep you from getting wet. You are so fun. I’m 75, and I love your channel and Josie’s channel. So, I’m really glad you posted the video. Again, I’m sorry about you missing your trip, but hopefully, soon you can go. 💜Jeanette Turner, Brentwood, TN (15 minutes from Nashville) I know Josie is coming to Nashville in November I think.

Aw Freddy I’m so sorry you have had that experience. I have found any travel over the past year so stressful because security queues are so bad and I’ve had to arrive three hours early to catch a regional flight that only takes an hour. I hope you feel better soon. ❤

Ahaha those clips of you at Niagra Falls made my entire year! The sunglasses and red poncho is a look! 🤣🤣

Right now as a Canadian everyone here who travels is just living in mortal fear of traveling through Toronto airport. I think it’s crazy understaffed. My niece had a crazy 5 leg flight to get to South Africa and everyone was so freaked out about her Toronto transfer. Once she got out of there and onto her flight safely we where so relieved.

I'm so sorry this happened, but thank you for sharing, it will be information for many people. On a positive note, Vanessa and Declan were lovely. Your cousin was very sweet and kind taking you shopping 👏💗. I loved the shape of the shoes.

Freddy, you HAVE to visit Mackinac (pronounced Mac-kin-awe) Island here in Michigan. It’s so old fashioned and quaint, and they are famous for their fudge. There’s no vehicles on the island and everyone gets around by carriage. You’d love it!

So sorry this airport situation happened to you Freddy. There have been so many nightmare experiences at airports here in Australia as well, so you are not alone.

I haven't even started the video but I'm so excited to see how you make Toronto look glamourous because I live here and I need the romanticism 😂

Vanessa is SO relatable. My aspiration is Freddy, but in reality I would probably be like Vanessa getting caught out wearing cheap Primark trainers to get a covid test 😅

i respect you so much for owning up to the fact that you lost your temper at customer service people! it's obviously not ideal, but your anger is warranted and i feel like a lot of influencers will either go off the rails and bash people using their platforms or will throw a fit but pretend on social media that nothing happened. you truly embody classiness in situations!

Totally feel your pain, an airline did the exact same to us & no compensation was offered, they don’t care at all! Unfortunately it happens all the time. Consider yourself lucky they credited you, back, not all of us are so privileged!

It’s great to see you in my neck of the woods, love your channel. 🇨🇦

Sorry to hear that.. but at least you can visit Josie at the Cotswolds…which would be epic for the viewers 😉

Nice to see you in my area sorry for your end of vacation trouble. Glad you enjoyed the rest of you time away. Getting home to our fur babies is best Cinderella beautiful.

omg i am shook!! wasn't able to keep up with your videos for a bit freddy due to school craziness, but ahhh I can't believe you came to Canada!! I'm just 3 mins in and seeing you enter Aritzia felt like a crossover episode!!!

DYING 🤣 At Freddy at Niagra Falls

I spray all of my suede boots with waterproof suede spray - a must, especially living in the uk in winter!! xx

That's so sad about your flight. You could try calling your bank and explaining what happened. It happened to me once that a website let me book a flight that was impossible to make, because of the immigration lines at the connecting flight + an airport transfer. I called my bank from the airport and they reversed the charge because they agreed they shouldn't have sold it to me. Airlines treat customers terribly. Everyone has a story - I have like 3 more! I think in a few weeks you'll be able to look back on the trip with happy memories.

Such a shame that you couldn’t go to Bermuda! The Toronto blog section was one of my faves ever so I’m glad you uploaded ☺️

I loved hearing your story time ❤ thanks for sharing. It's nice to know about the "bad things" too because it may help someone on how to manage that same situation.

This is my favourite vlog because I’m 2 hours away and it’s so interesting to see you in a familiar place that I never imagined you being in!

Okay Freddy “roughing it” was hilarious!! 😂😂😂

Hello Freddy, I had a similar experience a few years ago but on other circumstances. Back in 2016 my dad past away and l had to be back home for the ceremony. I was working in Nice and had to flight to Albania. I took the first flight home but with one layover to Frankfurt. Once l arrived l passed 4 hours on the security line so my flight left. I bought another ticket from Germany but with one layover to Rome. I spent 8 hours in the airport because someone had forgotten a luggage and they were suspecting for a bomb or something. Everyone was evacuated. Finally l arrived around 3am at my place the other day. I was traumatized for life because l was alone and on top of it l had to think of my dad. Worst experience l've ever had!

The boat trip was hysterical to watch. Thank you for sharing your immigration cue story, for those of us who have international travel plans. I hope your next trip is so amazing that this frustration will quickly become a distant memory.

The car sing a long was my favorite! Toronto looks amazing. Sorry for your travel woes. xoxo 🤍

Oh that’s so rotten Freddy! However as a Canadian I am so glad to see that you had fun at Casa Loma and Niagara Falls. Please come back again and visit soon! I feel like you would also love Vancouver and maybe Banff which is close to where I live. Much love 💕

I'm glad you posted the Toronto footage. It looks like a lovely time!

Abba singing was glorious! as was the castle tour, the rooms were stunning! Sorry about the negative ending to your tripe but thanks for sharing what you did in toronto it was a lovely travel vlog

I’m so sorry that happened to you Freddy 💕 I had an experience like this too, and it really does take so much faith away in airlines and airports.

I recently had my first bad travel experience. Had a flight with 1 layover. The first flight was delayed but they told everyone to still take that flight, even if you would miss your connection, and if you had to stay overnight the airline would put you up in a hotel. Then when we all got to the layover city the airline said they wouldn't help anyone who had missed their flight. It was horrible.

Awwweee I am so sorry Freddy. That’s such a stressful situation and hope you do get a chance to go to Bermuda on another adventure.

I feel you. Had a connecting flight in Amsterdam, was supposed to change the plane within 1h, my first flight was delayed, flight attendants ensured me we will catch next flight. I was late 7 minutes at the gate. Long story short, I spent 3 days at the airport (2 other flights that they re-booked for me were cancelled) with no help from the customer service. Had to book a hotel on my own, pay for the taxi and still didn’t see any reimbursement for this. Horrible experience. Glad you at least got the spend a quality time with your family and had a chance shopping in Canada!🎉

I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay there , aritzia is the best place to shop. I’m so sorry you had a terrible experience at Pearson

Oh I love the skirt from aritzia. It really looks amazing on you. All the other things you got also looked amazing! ❤

Sorry that happened! Pearson Airport is not smooth since cvid, unfortunately.🙁 I live in the Greater Toronto Area(GTA), and it was lovely to see it from your point of view. Thanks for sharing!🤗

Toronto airport is 100% the reason I applied for Global Entry (US only?). I had a similar experience where I arrived very early and stood in the customs line for HOURS. I ran to my gate and just barely made my flight. So sorry to hear about your negative experience. I hope it doesn’t keep you from traveling for too long as I adore your travel vlogs.

im a GTA native (grew up about 25 mins out) we're all pretty nice. That lady who complimented your boots is something I do to everyone lmao

Glad you had a lovely time in my home city of Toronto. Some advice to others - during this period of stressful travel I completely avoid flights with connections - I only fly direct if at all possible. I have flown 4 times from Pearson in the last year without issue, but connecting through the US can certainly be an issue at this time.

Hello from a Toronto viewer! ❤ Aww I’m so sorry your Bermuda trip was ruined! So relieved you were able to get credits for next time though. I absolutely loved your TO and Niagara Falls footage! Thank you for posting. And that Niagara Outlet Collection place is a gem. So it wasn’t a total loss of a time of course! I just adore your vlogs. xoxo

I cannot believe your airport situation! Making a mental note when I go to Canada from the US.

I’m sorry this happened to you! I can totally relate. I had a HORRIBLE experience at Toronto airport myself last year. I was there just for layover on my way from Vancouver to NY with over an hour to catch my next flight. Comfortably enough time for a connecting flight in my thinking since luggage is checked, you’re already in the security cleared zone etc… But no. First it was half a world trip from where I arrived to the other gate. 25 minutes walking. When I arrive there is ANOTHER full security check. Wth? I never had to do this before on a connecting flight. The whole point is that you’re not allowed to leave the secure area, just walk gate to gate. Made no sense to me. Then also got stuck in the immigration queue I did not know about. They had 2/10 counters open. This might be normal in Canada and sure it saves you time upon arrival but it is not anywhere else in the world! I’ve been to the US many times, never had to do that. And I was not the only one either, like with you, people left and right of me were freaking out and missing their flights. Would it hurt to let people know this process happens in advance? Like put up signs, send an email whatever. I got plenty of emails about Covid procedure from the airline but not this. Especially since they obviously know about this problem and missing passengers are a huge hassle for the airline. Through a lucky coincidence I actually misread the time for my connecting flight and thought I was much later than I actually was so I ran to the gate, security let me pass through faster etc. If I had just casually walked over like I normally do bc I thought I had plenty of time in my understanding I would’ve 100% missed my flight. As it was I arrived just in time at the dirtiest, dingiest gate ever. Not here to bash all Canadian airports, Vancouver was the best airport experience I ever had. So chill, so nice. But this was terrible. And I don’t understand people who say here “you should’ve googled the airport“. Airport procedure is pretty much the same everywhere, especially if you fly somewhere you‘ve been many times before. I don’t really expect something to happen I never heard of before and therefore feel a need to google the airport. Anyway…sorry for loosing myself in my own little rant here 😅 The point is, you’re not the only one and it’s not your fault. I hope you could get a few days to relax after that disaster and can still keep the rest of your time in Canada as a good memory! 🤍

Hi Freddy, I am from Toronto and go to Bermuda quite frequently. I know that the airline WestJet does a daily flight straight to Bermuda and back every single day. I have never had an issue with them and because you aren't going through the America you deal with customs when you get to Bermuda. I am sorry you had such a horrible experience, I know in COVID Pearson airport has been a total nightmare. Hope this helps :)

Always excited for Freddy's vlog! Please visit Montreal if you have a chance :) Although it's in Canada, but it's completely different!

Its so nice seeing you in Toronto, as I grew up here! So cool to see you in places I frequent :) Glad you enjoyed it!

Freddy, you had me rolling watching you at Niagara Falls. Thanks for the amazing laugh. That castle looked cool! I didn’t know Toronto could be so cool. Gosh, so sorry to hear about Bermuda.

I resonated with that Mamma Mia singalong SO much 😂😍

I'm sooooo glad you bought the shoes. I loved them.

As soon as I saw "Toronto" in the title I thought she would go to Yorkville for sure! So fun to see you explore the city I live in!

Glad you enjoyed Yorkville and Casa Loma! I live in Toronto and you've inspired me to revisit the castle. P.S. if you ever return to Niagara and take the Hornblower/ Maid of the Mist or any other wet attractions, I'd recommend wearing rubber or faux leather patent boots.

So sorry this happened to you, but good on you for sharing your story. That not everything is always perfect, sometimes despite our best efforts things can go wrong. I am gutted for you and hope you two get a re-do. Vanessa is lovely and seeing your Toronto footage was wonderful. Canadians are a warm bunch but I am biased 😉 🇨🇦

OMG I live in Toronto and I always thought Aritzia is such a Freddy store! Glad you had a good time here. Also, Pearson airport is famously one of the worst in the world 😥😥

Freddy, I couldn’t believe your host and hostess didn’t tell you not to wear your good clothes when going on maid of the mist! And when you said you hated getting wet!!!!! I would’ve cried if my own Stuart Weitzman boots got wet! Our airport was never this bad pre-pandemic. They used to have ground spotters who would yell out for those who had to have a connecting flight and place them in the queue earlier. Sorry about your experience! Years ago I had a direct flight to Bermuda. The important thing is that you’re safe and did not get caught up in a hurricane season so maybe it was meant to be. Maybe on your next visit you can have a meet up with those who follow you from this side of the pond!🌎🇨🇦

Pearson airport is a nightmare. I am a Canadian and domestic flights are equally as horrific. So very sorry that you had to experience that.

Omg! You went to Aritzia! I’m from Vancouver and I watch your videos all the time. I always thought that you would love aritzia. It’s literally the only place I shop at. It’s such a vibe! Haha they have the coziest sweaters. I’m addicted. ❤️😊

I’m happy you had an amazing experience in Canada and to be honest I was not interested at all to visit Toronto but your trip makes me want to visit the country. ❤ and I’m sorry you had that bad experience in the airport, what I like to do before I travel I check the airport in google if I’ve never been there because people comment them experiences and they advised you how long for security etc. or checking the website. Hope you girls can celebrate the engagement party soon 💕

When I heard you were in Toronto I screamed. I was manifesting that I would run into you!!

I actually love the coach shoes, Freddy!

I absolutely loved the Coach sandals - great vlog Freddy thank you, i always enjoy your travel vlogs but gutted for you that you had such a terrible experience at the airport - Shame on the airport staff they treated you disgracefully ❤

Freddy - you may feel a little "alone" eating at a restaurant, for instance, but you are never truly alone, because you have US, your followers with you at all times!

Ahh, so lovely to see my handsome Deccy Doo Daa! Fred I actually love the ugly shoes, will they fit me?!

I’m Canadian and absolutely love Maid of the Mist! I laughed so much watching you! Hope you had fun!

We lost 2 days of our honeymoon in a luxury resort in Cancun due to US Airway’s flight chaos. The first flight was totally cancelled and we very luckily were booked into a beautiful local hotel by my sister. We got an upgraded room because they we were on our honeymoon which was amazing. So it all seemed to be going well but chaos struck again. We were kept on a run way in Miami for over 2 hours and the flight we were on had already been delayed reaching Miami. We literally had to sit in the plane and watch the clock tick away until we only had minutes to spare for to catch our connecting flight. We ran as fast as we could but the gate was too far and we missed our connecting flight, yet another full day of our booked honeymoon gone. I had a bit of a meltdown due to lack of sleep in Miami. We were put up in a hotel because it was the airlines responsibility to look after us after they’d stopped us from leaving the plane. I’m not sure they would have done this had I not just started crying and telling them we are losing a second day of our once in a lifetime honeymoon. They did feel bad when I told them how much flight chaos we’d experienced but there was little they could do. I totally understand the utter panic, anger and anxiety re- all of above! It’s a nightmare……..when we finally got to our destination it was worth it. We just wished we still had the days we missed there because we enjoyed it so much.

Awwww so sorry Freddy that happened total disaster loved the vlog your outfit was incredible in your outfits sending you big hugs :) xx

The weather in Ottawa (nation's capital) has been horrid as of late, so I'm glad that Toronto (provincial capital) weather was kinder to you! I'm so sorry airport was such a nightmare though 😕

Your trip reminded me of when I went to see my cousin in Toronto they don’t stop working to take you out!😂 torontonians are workaholics I spent most of the mornings going out by myself

That's terrible, it is everywhere. Amsterdam Airport has the same problem.. hope you are okay hun x

I’ve only flew to Milan this year but the lack of airport staff was also an issue there! It was my first flying experience since 2019 and it really put me off travelling by plane again. We were delayed by 2 hours leaving due to lack of airport staff and on the way home we were stuck on the run way for 2 hours due to lack of staff! As you said it really does take it out of you 😢 we only stayed in Milan for 4 days so we basically lost the first day due to the delay 😅 hopefully things improves and you can enjoy it next year!

I’m from Toronto and I’m glad you enjoyed the city and Niagara! I also worked at Pearson for about 5 years, it’s a nightmare sometimes and has just gotten worse since Covid. USA flights are weird here, you go through customs first since technically once you get through you’re then on American soil although you’re still in Canada. Sadly T3 is also generally smoother and quicker than T1. Because T3 is also smaller: on the US side they usually close gates 10 mins before scheduled departure (assuming it’s still the same as when I worked there pre-covid), just makes your window a little tighter. Airport employees here are generally nice though; if you have a flight departing soon tell an agent and they’ll usually pull you to the front to get you through.

Oh Freddy you on the boat squealing in the poncho 🤣❤❤❤

It's such a shame that your trip was cut short considering the joyous reason of an engagement, but I enjoyed the vlog nontheless and I'm glad that you decided to publish it anyway 😊 Now I know why we are always told to be at the airport 4 hours prior to our flight. Lesson learned for the next time ❤
