Re: Suggestions for travel to Canada

I would also suggest making any connections in a country that you have some conections, or know your way around. Just incase you get stuck....


All the best

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.
