T1 where AC and UA operate I believe has a setup that allows you to skip entering Canada. However T3 doesn't.
yes, you have to grab all your luggages and go through customs and RECHECK at MU. So basically DL can check you to PVG but it means nothing.
Last time I flew BOS-YYZ-PVG, my DL agent at BOS checked me to PVG and misinformed me that no need to take it out at YYZ. I ended up wasting 2 hours to retrieve my luggage through Canadian Customs ‘s back door. Luckily I had more than 4 hours connecting time.
MU counter agents told me all US passengers must recheck their luggage’s at YYZ. Maybe they don’t have the ground force to do that. Remember MU’s business class is the cheapest.
Without any hassle, 2.5 hours connecting time is enough. Without saying, rat all your fresh fruits and stuff before getting off airplane.
