Just a few comments from the Canadian side..

I believe we are all affected by everything that has happened. There will be changes inplemented, but things will always be in the back of people's minds.

Prior to the events of last week I believe that there was more secuity at Canadian airports. The main reason being that passengers were only allowed to the gates after clearing security. There are times I would get the handheld metal detector scan in Canada, but not in other airports, with the same items in my pockets. I have not flown since, so I cannot comment on how it is today.

Service wise, I think service was a little more competitive before AC swallowed up CP. It probably has gone down a since that time. A few years back, service was really good. The airlines up here seem to have newer planes I believe.

Cost wise, it would be higher. There are probably more taxes and Airport Improvement surcharges.

A couple advantages may be since there are less routes in Canada, the chances of having ontime flights should be better. Also, smaller airports can mean shorter time spent from parking lot, to check-in, to the gate. How about Canadian beer!


These are just a few pros and cons for flying through Canada
