Saw dates through the rest of the year, including summer. ~4300 UA/PQP if flown on AC (014)

Looks like DL/AF/KL are matching. $5585 MQDs and 22,258 MQMs on AF through CDG.

Are Americans allowed to transit through Canada in both directions?

Can you share some dates? Skyteam fare around this price that I found are all through FCO with ITA. Rather not touch this airline at all.

Yes, but can not leave the airport/transit area & no overnight connections (except YYZ, allowed to spend the night in the terminal in transit to INTL destinations)

Thank you. I assume we can use any of the airport lounges while in transit at YYZ, is that right?

As long as you have proof of double vaccination, you won't have problems in Canada. If you're not vaxxed, you can reasonably expect that you will not be able to access some establishments.

It's dependent on finding Z fare availability, which may not be available on the non-stops. I had a lot of luck once I put AF,KL+ into the routing codes in ITA Matrix. It looks like the fare basis is ZN5X76D1.

Does Canada accept the white vaccine card from the US and/or the QR code from California? I would think (and hope) so.

You must be fully vaccinated to depart from a Canadian airport - AC will take your vaxx proof at LAX - irrespective of destination

Yes, you upload that to AC's online check in or show in-person. Note that if you want to actually enter Canada, you must have an approved negative (or positive test 10 days to 180 days) from an approved test - LAMP, PCR, NAAT. Antigen is not accepted

And passenger must be fully vaccinated.

No thanks on transiting Canada, but I'm seeing some nice connections on UA & Aegean.

Update: Surprised to find this also available in the summer though much more limited inventory.

While Canada's rules do not require a PCR test for transiting passengers, just keep in mind that Air Canada (and United depending on your routing) have many misinformed or just clueless agents who make up their own rules and may insist on a test before allowing you to board your flight. This can also be an issue ex-ATH on the way back. You'll want to print out the relevant documents from the Canada government website, and be prepared to get to the airport early, or leave lots of transit time and if you run into this problem, be prepared to escalate and potentially argue with the agents.

As of now, folks who have been in the US for the past 14 days can enter Canada quarantine-free on the outbound (i.e., coming from the US), so an overnight connection at an airport hotel or in town would be feasible. On the return (coming from Greece), should you choose to enter Canada, you would be subject to random testing and possible quarantine while waiting for the test result.
