The $500 premium on average I pay to fly via Canada is worth it.
I don't know folks. I'm seeing folks say "Oh, I don't mind paying extra!"
They get broken down into two groups:
a) Those who aren't paying for their own tickets, or
b) Those who have frail, delicate egos and want to avoid being offended.
For $500, I'm sure I can find someone to come to your house and act polite to you. Especially Jarusoba... I'm sure his mansion is opulent, the doorknob is pure gold, and the toilet is hewn from virgin marble.
