I understand that it is a mileage run, but is JFK-YVR-DFW that many more miles than JFK-SFO-DFW? I am all in favour of what you are doing, but I would not do JFK-YVR-DFW myself even with a few hundred dollars throw in as an inducement. Some things are just too difficult and dangerous to attempt. In my estimation you have a 10% chance of it going smoothly, 20% chance of missing the DFW flight, and 10% chance of being in YVR 24 hours later. Also a non-zero chance of being denied admission to the US.</font>
12265*2.25 vs 8391 * 2.25 so 8716 miles more (4842 status miles).
You really think I have a 20% chance of being delayed so long at YVR that I miss a 4.5 hour connection?
The risk that bothers me is the turnround at JFK - then I only have 2.5 hours or so. I guess I can always reroute on the fly at JFK for $75 if need be.
I'm a reasonably regular visitor to the USA (twice a year or so) so I would really rather not be on a blacklist.
I guess I'll have to do a trip report
