Make sure you have enough time between connecting flights so ½ of your baggage doesn't miss the flight and take another 24hrs to show up

small flight, not much storage space as per the passengers. Try to get a booking which is Group 1 or 2 latest.

“Meal” usually means more than a light snack. I thought what they served was an appetizer not the total meal. So I’d eat before or bring food.

Ottawa, as a small airport is easiest to navigate! Overhead baggage compartments seem to be smaller, and on every flight they seem to need travellers to volunteer to put carryons in checked luggage instead.

I always expect issues with United but there doesn't seem to be another airline to use. Advice: Give yourself and extra day to get anywhere - don't be in a hurry to get home either.
