I would fly Air Canada on the direct from RDU but it lands at 5pm for the 615pm AF departure and I'm not willing to get that risky (especially because that flight gets canceled fairly often -- I've experienced it first hand), so I'm instead thinking that I'd rather do something like RDU - CLT - YYZ (could do RDU - LGA/JFK/EWR - YYZ on DL/UA but I'm thinking that avoiding NYC would be a good call).

Going via CLT, would land at 315pm so a 3 hour layover -- seems like that should be sufficient?
