iI was the victim with others, a fews years ago of a Wendover Casino charter on Allegiant Air out of Calgary (YYC) that was cancelled a full six hours plus AFTER the original departure time. Their handling agent was not supplied with the cancellation notice until we were at the gate for the new departure time. We had all cleared U.S. Customs and Immigration and security and were at the gate watching for the aircraft when the handling finally got the word that the aircraft hadn’t even left it’s U.S. departure point. We were simply told the flight was cancelled, go get our bags and CALL the Wendover Casino company.
