phabric Posted February 23, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2023 We had a non stop Air Canada flight for Nov 24 - YYZ-FCO booked with EZAir. Air Canada has cancelled this flight. I see that I can take an 1 stop flight - FCO-YUL (1hr 30 min)-YYZ FCO-FRA (1hr 45 min) - YYZ Both flights leave FCO around the same time. Is there enough time between flights? Which flight would be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6rugrats Posted February 23, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) What? I thought only AA was canceling flights 😄. I don't quite understand what you are writing because you say you had a YYZ-FCO flight booked and you are asking if you should take a FCO-YUL-YYZ or a FCO-FRA-YYZ. So, are you asking about the outbound or the return? If it's the return, I personally would book this myself. But, if you are sticking with cruise air, I'd take the FCO-FRA-YYZ. I'd rather have that long haul to my arrival airport than risk delays in Canada. Edited February 23, 2023 by 6rugrats 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach1213 Posted February 23, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) I, too, am confused...but I too would do via FRA if you are going FCO-YYZ. Not only is it very efficient, but it's awfully nice to step off your longhaul flight and be done, not worry about another flight and, if delayed, the frustration of feeling the "just get me the eff home" vibes.

Dancer Bob Posted February 24, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 24, 2023 "Step off your long haul flight and be done"? Clearing Customs in YYZ? Not likely. There are far more connections YUL-YYZ and likely to have space available, than FRA-YYZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted February 24, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 24, 2023 You would need more time in YUL to clear customs/Immigration before heading to YYZ wouldn't you ? We try to avoid connections in Canada before hitting home (YYZ) so not sure how that works out if you connect in YUL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phabric Posted February 24, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted February 24, 2023 EzAir has moved our return Air Canada cancelled flight on Nov 24 to a non stop Air Canada on Nov 25 FCO-YYZ for the same price we had before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clear immigration in both a few times each year and can't remember any particularly bad occurrences. Besides, if you are ending in YYZ and having to clear immigration there, a delay is just a delay...not a reason to panic about a missed connection.
