Re: new to flying, could do with some help/advise

Re: new to flying, could do with some help/advise

You’re the specialist but I’ve been to the US, and to the UK in the company of various Americans, literally hundreds of times. Where cardboard is involved it’s handed over at first contact with the...

Re: new to flying, could do with some help/advise

The only generalization I'm making is that all of the administrative functions at the Toronto airport are poorly conducted. If other airports use the cardboard in mouth technique then I'd say they're...

Re: new to flying, could do with some help/advise

As always, this is a glaring example of parochial Canada. The officer asks for the card or till roll. The passenger says "what?" and then either heads back to search the bin or drops very many bags...

Re: new to flying, could do with some help/advise

There is one small advantage to this byzantine procedure. If you have duty free bottles that you carried on to the plane in England this provides a moment to check them for the onward journey....

Re: new to flying, could do with some help/advise

JFK is a bother because the connection to Canada is invariably at La Guardia. I'm ok with that now but that's the route we took when we emigrated to Canada; it was more than we needed on top of going...

Re: new to flying, could do with some help/advise

My daughter in Vancouver goes to Europe a couple of times a year (with two small children), she says it's not a big deal but she connects at Montreal.

Re: new to flying, could do with some help/advise

Re: new to flying, could do with some help/advise

Re: new to flying, could do with some help/advise

When I went through the world's least organized airport, the one you're going to, a month ago, the procedure was that you filled in the little card on the plane and then did it again at the machine....
