- Haha agreed with you on that one. I got E50K through 56 segments through CRJs and related cousins - hated it. I cant imagine doing 95 segments to get E100K.

My flight plan is as follows: YTZ - YUL - FRA - FCO. Then return is VCE - FRA - YUL - YTZ.
This is a personal vacation trip and I purposely routed myself through Montreal/YUL for the following reasons
1. To avoid the FRA rush of superelites at YYZ (I've seen those before - been on that YYZ-FRA flight :P). Hopefully less business superelites flying between YUL to FRA
2. Flying out of YTZ and connecting via YUL was actually $150 cheaper than flying direct out of YYZ (thank goodness for ITA Matrix!). The direct to FCO was even worse.
3. Benefits of saving the $55 cab fare to Pearson airport for a personal trip is also good (I live downtown TO) - and avoiding evening traffic rush on the gardiner. I could literally bike to Billy Bishop airport and take the flight out from there if I knew how to dangle my carry on roller behind me on my bike! However, I'll settle for a $3 TTC fare.
4. Arrive at Billy Bishop airport 30 min before the flight and I would still be good!
