I wouldn't go through Toronto if the other choice was Minneapolis. Minneapolis is quite a nice airport.

Re: Who's going where at Christmas?
Having departed Canada, living in England, and temporarily residing in rural France.
I shall be getting drunk and raising a toast to my recently deceased Mother. Who will no doubt be passing comments from her nearby urn. I shall cook lunch for my Father and think about the crappiest year in my life.
Anyone want to join me? Bah humbug
Rock on 2012 when I will be back in England, and failing a certain Mayan forecast planning a better year.
Does that get me the prize for the most depressing post... Lol

Re: Who's going where at Christmas?
We've previously done Dryden to Winnipeg to Toronto to Heathrow and the total time of that trip was about 22hrs with layovers etc. Getting a decent connection at a sensible price seems to be a black art.
It's one of the prices we pay for living where we do.

Re: Who's going where at Christmas?
We will mostly be staying at home. I'll be wrangling the two-and-three-quarter year old whilst the Mrs gets increasingly impatient for the arrival of Small AX #2 somewhere in the middle of next month. She'll be eating for two. I'll be drinking for two.
