Thanks. That is what I was hoping. I was booking directly with Club Med. I can't see that Air Canada Vacations books Club Med but I will call them. Also trying to use my Amex Cobalt points so that will also complicate things....I will also see if I can call Amex Travel.
Re the unreliability of the short hops: yup, they sure are. Therefore, we are flying up the day before (with 3 more hops scheduled before our plane to Provo leaves, as well as one train and one bus, all as backup). Coming home we don't care as much: hoping to book on the second last flight of the day, but if all else fails, it would not be the first time we spent the night on the floor in Pearson.
