I completely forgot about that, I always thought they were shipped from YYZ. Totally forgot about our massive cargo ops for a second.

She didn't come out of the terminal until probably 30 minutes after the plane started disembarking. She also only had carryon.

Also depending on delays and parking gates, when offloading, TC requires that international and domestic passengers can't offload/load at the same time, so sometimes your stuck on the plane until that process is complete and CSBA has it written that they can only handle 1 plane at a time. A new internationals hall is highly needed to handle more flights

I always imagined some of the previous winter ops to have been a nightmare given the massive midnight rush of sunflights coming back. But wow, only allowing one of the flights to offload at a time based on intl/dom is something. I get it, but that must be a strain.
My PLAY flight parked on the gate closest to customs. I'm sure the airport must have come up with something to allow domestic and international aircraft to disembark simultaneously
