sstepson Posted February 8, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hi guys, Just a quick question about flying home from YVR. If our flight is on Air Canada, with our first flight to Toronto before connecting to the USA, is it treated as a normal domestic flight as far as customs goes? I'm assuming that in this case, we would go through US preclearance in YYZ before our connecting flight back home. I'm just trying to gauge how early of a flight I can book after our ship's 7am arrival in Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted February 8, 2013 #2 Share Posted February 8, 2013 If our flight is on Air Canada, with our first flight to Toronto before connecting to the USA, is it treated as a normal domestic flight as far as customs goes? Yes. We have U.S. pre-clerance here at YVR, but it doesn't apply to you in this situation. More so than the time of the initial flight, I would be looking at the layover time between your flights in Toronto; my advice is leave plenty of time for pre-clearance and security. You will pick up your bags in Toronto and be directed to the U.S. departures area. EDITED to add this link for you - http://torontopearson.com/Connecting.aspx# <--click here .

zephyr17 Posted February 8, 2013 #3 Share Posted February 8, 2013 A flight from Vancouver to Toronto is a domestic flight, obviously with no customs and immigration involved. Would you expect to go through customs if you flew from Seattle to Chicago? You'll go through US Customs & Immigration pre-clearance at YYZ. Make sure and allow enough time in scheduling your connection to allow for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you expect to go through customs if you flew from Seattle to Chicago? I'm aware of the way it works in the US. The point of my question was to see if it works the same way in Canada. Apparently it does. Thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
