But, just maybe, we are finally starting to see some momentum on YKF's side, and this will yet turn into much more than a quiet regional airport.

Yeah, having status + NEXUS is quite helpful for flying through Pearson. I should see about whether they're doing NEXUS interviews again. Getting to Pearson is annoying.

In general, I don't have complaints about Pearson itself, its average as far as airports go. It's the 401 that is the problem. Even leaving 4 hours before a flight there is a small chance of missing it.

That's it. If we only had a train connection ...

Not for weekend flights we don't.

I know I can't expect food service on those planes, is there a decent dinner available once I'm through security, or should I eat before getting to the airport? I did a quick search on the airport web site on my phone earlier today, and they don't seem to have any info there other than the name of the cafe.

Quote:Flair – which bills itself as an ultra-low-cost carrier offering unbundled, bare-bones fares to budget-conscious travellers – announced Tuesday it will begin non-stop flights this winter to Cancun and Los Cabos, Mexico, from Vancouver, Abbotsford, Edmonton, Ottawa and Kitchener-Waterloo.

Flair’s new Mexico service will begin Feb. 1, with fares starting between $79-$109 one-way.
