Dawson and I have not yet. We try to fly into City Island for convenience, but that's not possible from the West Coast I think - ty97 Apr 2, 19:27 7
- Yep, I'm looking at a direct LAX-YYZ, and then a separate RT YYZ to Halifax, NS. - Meg Apr 2, 19:35 6
  - Unfortunately, only turboprops can fly into YTZ. They are large props, but nonetheless, props don't have west coast access from Toronto. - ty97 Apr 2, 19:40 5
    - I just went through Peason - they've gone 100% electronic with the customs forms and it's super effecient. -- nm - Reagen Apr 2, 19:56 2
      - Admittedly, it's been a while. Is that for Canadians only, or for everyone? - ty97 Apr 2, 19:59 1
        
        It's for everyone. -- nm - Reagen Apr 2, 20:01
    - (The federal government, not Toronto) -- nm - Roger More Apr 2, 19:47 1
      - I couldn't remember who it was, just knew a recent election impacted it (thought it was city, but obvie you would know more details than me) -- (edited) - ty97 Apr 2, 19:55
Yes - it leaves every 15 minutes, takes about 25 minutes, gets you downtown and they just cut the price from $27 to $9 because no one uses it -- nm - Roger More Apr 2, 19:09 6
- And $6.00 for seniors :) Sounds like a deal. -- nm - Meg Apr 2, 19:10 5
  - Lousy mooching seniors. If they're rich enough to travel, they're rich enough to chip in an extra three bucks. -- nm - Roger More Apr 2, 19:14 4
    - OTOH, looks like hotel prices pretty much double during TIFF. -- nm - Meg Apr 2, 19:34 2
      - When I looked the other day, there were rooms downtown for $150-$170 which is... not cheap, but not that extortionately higher than normal -- nm - Roger More Apr 2, 19:48 1
        
        Admittedly that was single point analysis. I need to check a few more. -- nm - Meg Apr 2, 19:51
    - congrats. you just won a free1 way trip to the Valley of Fire. -- nm - Peglegpete...senior Apr 2, 19:26
