  • Thanks to the snowstorm, our original BCN-JFK/LGA-YYZ got changed to BCN-LHR-YYZ, yah, no need to visit USA or transfer between JFK/LGA ourselves, and got home 5 hours earlier.
Bad
  • Only incident was the lost/stolen backpack at Camper store in Barcelona while we were shopping (probably got stolen by thieves pretending to be customers, which seems common as the staff told us)
