I was swept up in a stampede to the flight to Madrid. Had I hesitated I would have been trampled. A brand-new Iberia DC-9 to Madrid then on to Lisbon. Unfortunately, I had been directed to the wrong plane but going to Madrid. They snooped me out and ejected me from the plane. Instead, a dingy Boeing 707 which was a charter flight to Madrid full of Spanish soldiers smoking cheap Spanish cigarettes. What a stench. At 4 a.m. in the morning finally back in Lisbon for the flight back to Montreal. A rough sleep at the airport and in the afternoon a flight on Air Portugal back to Montreal.
