This is a question from a journalist for Canadians who live in or near border cities.

Does anyone out there take flights out of a U.S. border city because the cost (air fare plus tax) is significantly cheaper than from the Canadian airport closest to where you live? Have you done it for a business trip? Have you done it for a pleasure trip?

I am writing a story for The Globe and Mail about a claim being made by Expedia.ca that fares from Buffalo to U.S. cities are cheaper than from Toronto to the same cities and that there is a “marked increase” in people from the GTA flying out of Buffalo.

Any experiences or comments on flying from any U.S. border city appreciated.

Thanks,
Doug McArthur
