You get Global Entry benefits with NEXUS. You can use TSA Precheck.

FrozenVent posted:I've used it in the past, and it was awesome. I was just wondering if I could use the Nexus card to clear US customs when inbound from a third country, my reading is that I can. I've only used mine between the US and Canada, so I don't have firsthand experience to back it up, but I agree with you that it should work. Bring both your passport and NEXUS card with you. $50 for 5 years is a bargain.

I'll have done 19 segments this year but that's not enough for even lowest-tier status, and the QM have generally been lovely because of the fares that I buy. Is it worth trying to stick with a given airline/alliance (Air Canada/*A) for me, or just shop around for the best fare for any given flight? It's all leisure travel.

I almost always book directly through the airline now. Rarely do I find anywhere cheaper and there's less chance for runaround in case of a problem.

Are dropping oil prices going to have any sort of impact on airfare, or is it is all going to go to the airlines' bottom line? I have to imagine that fuel makes up a large part of their opEx.

Rome2Rio is the site I know that'll show you multiple modes of transportation like that, but it doesn't cover the whole range of dates that you're looking for. You can, however, search for multiple airports at a time with google flights. Just enter something like PDX, SEA, YVR into the from field and MIL, VCE, TRN into the to field and use the calendar view to search for 13 days +/- 3 days, and 17 days +/- 3 days. Airfare will likely be your largest cost, so get an idea of what train tickets are like between these other airports and Milan and mentally add it to the cost.

There aren't any true LCCs in Canada, though all the big airlines have stupid fees now too. I don't know how you found a TAM flight that isn't a codeshare. Porter airlines may be of interest to you since they fly from Toronto city centre airport.

Cool, did not know that. I remember seeing a true AC flight between Santiago and Buenos Aires that made me do a double take as well.

Partially strange observation, partially request for help. YYZ-NBO on Oct 16/15 NBO-CPT on Nov 7/15 afternoon or nov8/15 morning CPT-YYZ on Dec 12/15 Breaking out segments into their own tickets seems to make a (sometimes big) difference to the total fare. For example, YYZ-LHR//LHR-NBO with a just over 12h layover, that I don't mind, comes out cheaper than YYZ-NBO, everything else being equal, and where the latter option doesn't even find the former. Breaking out the middle NBO-CPT section (usually 2 or 3 segments) also seems to make a difference, whether it's a one-way+open-jaw over a 3-way multi-city, with the former being a couple hundred dollars cheaper than the latter. Given this, how do I approach finding these kinds of anomalies? Some of the combinations I come up with price but aren't bookable online. For example, one ticket that has flights with AC, ET and SA is bookable through Lufthansa (according to Google). I've only ever booked flights online. Anything special about booking over the phone with itineraries like this? Anything weird about booking tickets into Africa? Cheapest I've found so far is 1686CAD (ticket 1) + 677CAD (ticket 2). There's a cheaper flight for the second ticket but it's too early in the morning, which of course doesn't exist the next day. ~1h connections in AMS often show up, even AC interlining with KLM. What's the minimum connection time I should be looking at?

Play around with skypicker and their radius search. If you think that's an absurd route, I found a Chengdu - Bishkek flight for $900, via Guangzhou, Urumqi and Moscow.

Kasumeat posted:For as little as possible, ideally less than $500, at most $700, I'm looking to vacation somewhere: I think the only place now in the Americas that you can reliably get to on that budget in that timeframe is Iceland. It won't be warm, but it'll hit the rest of your checkboxes. You can get to Beijing or Shanghai for ~800. There have been some deals on India around that price on Secretflying recently, but not last-minute. Good luck.

Westjet added flights from YYZ to LGW for 271CAD one-way.

Whip Slagcheek posted:Yeah and that return one way will be three times more expensive. Depends. With mainline airlines, definitely, but not with the budget ones. Westjet, Icelandair and Air Transat all do one-ways at half the price of the return. Air transat has a one-way return LGW-YYZ on July 12 for 383CAD, making his trip 271+383=654CAD return to London.

I'm trying to piece together flights from YYC-BCN in March. The cheapest transatlantic legs are on Westjet (YYC-LGW), but that means buying separate tickets for LON-BCN. I'm planning on visiting a friend on the outbound leg, so I'm not worried there, but the inbound leg would have me landing at LGW at 9AM on a Vueling flight, collecting baggage and checking in for an 11:35AM Westjet flight. Is 2.5h enough for this at LGW? They don't interline.

Savings are 300-400 CAD over *A and 500 over BA. Where does WestJet long haul lie on the Air Transat to Singapore continuum? I have an EU passport so looks like that transfer should be doable, at least.

Saladman posted:Actually, do any LCCs even fly trans-Atlantic besides Norwegian? And WOW I guess (if Iceland to the US counts as trans-Atlantic). I guess there's LEVEL, IAG's other other LCC. There's also a whole class of non-flag carrier 'leisure' airlines of the Air Canada Rouge and Air Transat type, which if not as cheap as true LCCs are at least as, if not more, uncomfortable.

I’ve always looked at the Wikipedia page for the airport (ex: MAD). I’ve found it to be pretty complete, but it doesn’t show any schedules.
