FEATURED ON THE LISTED GUIDE
As Donald Trump’s inauguration took place on the morning of January 20, a plane full of Toronto women was headed to Washington.
A Toronto Twitter user’s photo has now gone viral, showing plane cabin that she said was 90 per cent full of women heading to the massive Women’s March on Washington, which takes place on January 21.
Andrea Addario first tweeted that 75 per cent of the flight was heading to the march.

But it wasn’t just Torontonians making the trek to Washington. According to several Twitter accounts, there were US flights heading to the march destination, with a majority female presence.
