Was on a flight from Heathrow to Toronto this morning and interestingly there was an article in the Toronto Star on Canadians flying out of the US. Last year, 21% of Canadian tourists drive to the US and flew from there. They anticipate as high as 32% of Canadians will do the same thing this year. Bangor, ME was listed as one of the highest volume airport for Canadians. That speaks volumes considering how low our population in the region is.
With the US about to add a $5.50 charge for any Canadian flying into the US, but not driving, I can see this continuing.
