I happened to take advantage of two great deals. Last week I flew JFK-LHR. The immigration officer at LHR could not believe that I would "fly all that way for a day trip." Finally, she let me through after hearing the person next to me say that he was also taking advantage of a $99 r/t. No problem coming back to JFK: the US immigration officer didn't ask me a single question.
Yesterday, I went to YYZ. I was asked several questions about why I wanted to come to Canada for a day. After mentioning the cheap fare and the frequent flyer miles, I was allowed in. She stamped my passport. US Customs at YYZ was no problem at all.
