Hi - as a Canadian resident I've been following the news about travel in
Canada. Vancouver and Toronto airports in particular have been subject
to passenger backlogs, and unfortunately it's possible this situation
will persist into September. I have the following suggestions:
== Reducing trip disruption ==
The airline industry in 2022 has experienced persistent issues with
airport congestion and delayed or canceled flights, and in Canada this
may still be a problem in September. The following guidance may help
reduce the chance of your travel being disrupted:
* Make your entry to Canada in Vancouver if possible. If you go
through customs in another airport, delays could cause you to miss
your connecting flight to Vancouver.
* Plan at least 3 hours between connecting flights to allow for
airport backlogs.
* Travel early in the day if possible, as backlogs can become worse
over the course of the day.
* If possible, plan to arrive a day early to allow for severe travel
disruption.
* Book refundable and changeable flights if possible, and actively
monitor changes and cancellations from airlines.
* Take a Covid test before your departure, as you would have to
isolate for the week if you test positive after arrival.
