Considering I make around half my trips to Pittsburgh I think you might have struck Gold (get it), up until now we've been picking her car up in YYZ and driving down via Niagara. I'll definitely look into that in a bit more depth, hopefully you're right on the cost part! My last trip this year may work for this which could get me very close to the line, so a big thank you!

Although a lot of my bookings are fairly last minute due to not knowing where I'm going, due to my work I have to put aside the time for travels quite far in advance (sometimes as little as 2 months, sometimes up to 12 months), in this TP year I have 2 trips right before my collection year ends, the second literally getting back the day before. I have 2 holidays booked for the summer that won't be done with BA so my options are basically committing to it now(ish) or giving it another year!
