More YHZ-US?
Delta is ending its YHZ-JFK route. Last flights are Sept 30. WestJet codeshares on that route.
Is there any chance WestJet (Encore) will fill that gap (to any NYC airport)? Or add any other US routes from YHZ in the forseeable future?
YHZ is a great airport to fly to the US from. I've never had to wait at customs or security for more than 2 minutes, and that is unusually long. Recently, they even installed customs terminals (not sure why, given they could have offered nobilepassports to most travelers instead).
But as of October 1, we'll only have BOS (Encore plus ACx, but no single fares with UA connections there), PHL (AA) and EWR (UAx) left.
Yes, there are some direct flights to Florida, but itineraries with onward connections from there are rarely offered.
