YXE (Saskatoon) turnaround on MR?
 
I'm planning a bit of a disjointed itinerary which involves a turnaround on the UAL service into and out of YXE (from ORD). Is there any reason why I shouldn't be able to land on the inbound flight and then depart again on the same aircraft back to ORD ~45 minutes later?

Will I actually need to clear Canada customs or can I stay airside in the gate area without legally entering Canada?

Or, conversely, is the processing around lunchtime quick enough that this won't be an issue?

Kind regards,
twj

The MR in the title = Mileage Run.

All about getting the miles (or perhaps segments in this case).

Customs is pretty quick, but the security queue at YXE is stupidly long some days.

I'm not too sure about what the immigration/customs agents are like in YXE but I'd highly recommend skipping a MR in Canada (agents don't get the concept of a MR and may question you long enough to miss your turnaround).

There are definitely some retarded agents at the YXE station.
