Don't ever Complain about CE
Last Minute AA Eagle Business Class JFK-YYZ fare for 50 minutes in a Small Regional Jet £1130 One way.
No food, No Lounge access for fare paid [Luckily I was BA Gold] .
One Free on-board drink.
And some say Rip Off Britain.

Surely you would have been better going to the station and taking the train than that price,was it an almighty emergency that you get there quickly?
My last club europe trip to and from nce was indeed lovely and the sandwiches were nice.

LAN flies a 767 on that route with 'proper' business class, or if LGA was ever an option there are more AA flights to YYZ from there and they are usually cheaper. Porter would have gotten you to YTZ from EWR, but no miles.
Considering you say this was all last minute I'm guessing you just had no other options. I do like that even on regional jets AA/eagle offers a distinct first-class seat.

it is VERY common to see fares between NYC/BOS/ORD and YYZ be sky high at less than 7 days out. even if the planes are empty since they know full well many will book at the last minute
did you check porter from EWR to YTZ?
when i was watching the playoffs this year, i sucked it up and drove to BOS since there was no way in hell i was paying CAD$2000 for a flight in Y that is so short.
you picked a route that LOTS of business people travel and travel at the very very last minute and airlines know they will gouge you for it.

If you leave in the early AM out of NYC, it should only take about 8hs to drive (if you want to push your luck doing over 75mph in some of the 70 zones, you can do it less than 8 with short stops. it is getting out of NYC that eats time.

One of the most boring drives I've ever taken (albeit from Westport CT).
