YYZ Boondoggle with Jet
I am travelling to AMS today on a ticket on Jet paper that involved a stop in YYZ as my first leg was on AC (though I'm not sure why it wasn't DL since they're JV partners). Even though my bag was tagged through, I had to clear Canada customs, claim my bag, take a train to Terminal 3, and re-check with Jet.
Does anyone know how YYZ does not have an airside terminal transfer and requires a luggage reclaim even for an interlined bag? I don't mind clearing customs, but it was all a pain and having to re-clear security was annoying. |

I don't know why there is no airside transfer in this case, but most US airports don't have airside intl-intl transfer either, so it is not something a US resident can reasonably complain about, even if you don't get to experience it normally. And those airports across the world that do allow intl-intl transfers without passport control or re-checking bags still require re-clearing security. US dom-dom transfers are the exception, so this sounds like a very US-centric complaint. |
This is not a 9W issue at all. It’s a US & Canada issue. Both countries make you go through customs and immigration and require you to have a transit visa (or in some cases ETA or similar documents)while transiting. They don’t have airside transit. I think Canada has a handful or exceptions but the US has 0 exceptions for customs/immigration while transiting. Being on any flight that landed in T3 would still make you do the same. Be glad you qualified for not having to apply for a transit visa as most people are required to. |
i've faced this issue with other airlines while transitting in yyz so i can concur that this has nothing to do with 9w....

Not a Jet Airways issue.
