At the intermediate airport where you take the 23:59 stop you are considered a connecting passenger rather than an originating passenger, right?</font>

I think it depends for what purpose - ie. YVR AIF would likely make you pay even though AC considers you a connecting pax.</font>

Does it matter? I thought the YYZ AIF hits you even if you're connecting. Or is it a matter of how many times it hits you?</font>

Provided your fare is ticketed as a through fare with YYZ listed as a connecting point and not a fare break point, then yes, you should pay only the $7 AIF. If the fare breaks at YYZ, regardless of the duration of stopover, then you will pay the $10 AIF.

YVR will most often refuse you connecting status if your arriving flight shows the day before the day of departure. One must be preapred to argue, and in most cases you will lose. I am sure Epress has managed to convince them otherwise, but I never have.

Well I finally have "the answer." It appears any transit longer than four hours will be charged the $10.00 AIF as opposed to the $7.00 AIF. </font>
