Cheap flights from O'Hare Intl (ORD) to Dortmund (DTM) from $525

Worst flight we’ve ever taken. After flying out of Montreal and passing through multiple AC security checkpoints using my US enhanced license we were denied boarding once we reached our destination back in the US which left stranded. Totally on me for not realizing I needed a full passport but my mistake was thinking that if I can cross from Vermont to catch a Canadian flight with my EDL then that document should be ok to fly. No one at Air Canada told us we would be stranded in the US. So a panicked $1500 flight now has us sitting in NYC trying to get home. Further Air Canada took our bags off the return flight and left no staff at the check in or baggage claim for five hours as we tried to regather our things to find a way home. Oh, and my wife’s baggage is now damaged so the handle won’t function to boot. Staff in AZ was really rude with us to boot. So now we’re missing work, have a car stuck in Montreal we need to retrieve from Vermont and an extra $1500 in stressful flights to add to our experience. air Canada refused to offer us any discount even in the flight we were denied boarding. We will be sharing this experience online anywhere we think it can have an impact. All that needed to happen was for someone somewhere along the line to warn us we were going to have a problem. Instead, you took our money and screwed us.
