KK is much better. Nothing like a hot KK glazed donought coming right off the belt:)
Tim's does have more flavors though, but unfortunately they don't serve anyt fresh hot doughts. I am sure our government will use KK donuts to raise health care taxes again, just like they do for other things! |

just pulling your leg.... we have this patriotic thing going on...... we condemn Canadians using US airports and we want to prohibit foreign commercial airlines from invading our airspace and diluting our national carrier's revenue (which is privately owned). :D

I don't entirely 'get' the Tim's thing, but it is handy to know you can find one almost anywhere (such as off the 401 when every blinking service centre was closed for 'improvements'! You knew you could get off at any of the exits, and find a Tim's wherever there was signs of life ;) )
Our working theory is that they line the coffee cups with an addictive substance (heroin perhaps) to explain the otherwise inexplainable liking for double doubles! The other one I don't get at all, is Swiss Chalet! My brother's Canadian ex had cravings, and used to go into YYZ departures as soon as she arrived back in Canada to get her Swiss Chalet fix! |

(FRA-YYZ is one of the last transatlantic flights out of FRA for the day and I'm connecting to the last YYZ-EWR flight.)

Not sure how weather delays would work for FRA as EU regulations apply. I thought I'd join the discussion regarding irops and duties of care. In FRA Regulation 261/2004 will apply and the airline has a duty of care to its passengers regardless if it's a European carrier or not. There is a force majeure clause in this regulations that airlines (Famously KLM) wrongly invoke. Airlines will argue that because of the weather they don't have to provide you with accommodation, meals or phone calls, however, they are wrong! The force majeure clause only relates to the additional monetary compensation that the airlines have to pay in case of delays or cancellations. All other provisions apply! That doesn't mean that the airlines will pay it upfront. They should, but they don't. Be prepared to fork over some cash and then battle the airlines to get it back. It's easier to do so with a EU carrier than it is to do with a non EU carrier, but there are agencies that will act on your behalf and take a cut of the reimbursement. Be firm and know your rights! I hope you have time to enjoy Tim's. |

You aren't missing much with Tim Hortons. Kripsy Kreme is much better. I would recomend finding a gift shop that has maple leaf sandwich cookies and buying those instead or seeing if there is a second cup coffee shop in the airport.

What if the flight landed in YYZ, but than the connecting flight was delayed/cancelled due to weather? I take it EU regulations wont reach that far?
You're right. It won't apply if that flight is delayed, unless it is an EU carrier, which AC is not. |
FWIW, we have 17 Tim's outlets in the institution where I work!

I know this thread is fairly old, but it's making me crave a Tim Horton's Iced Capp. The easiest franchise for me to get to is in Providence. I have no time to go to Providence.
