Who to fly home to BNE from Toronto?

[bPeteb]

Next September, after seven weeks away, it'll be time to fly home from Canada (Toronto).

We really want to do this with just one stop to home and it appears our choices are Eva, Cathay and Air Canada. It will be either Y+ or Y. We do not want to enter the USA.

For those who have flown further down the plane than J, what would be your choice? CX option looks like it requires a lengthy (16 hour) stopover in HK, not necessarily a bad thing.

Seat? Service? Food? Who wins?

Thanks in advance.

How about Korean Air, Philippines Airlines or China Eastern/Southern?

Take the train to Vancouver, and then fly onwards from there?

PR have just upgraded YYZ to their new A350 too.

Outta time to do that however much we'd like to!
Thanks for the other options. I'd forgotten about Korean and we hadn't considered mainland Chinese or Philippines.

JL does not fly to YYZ

I would choose CX, they have treated me very well as WP / OWE, even when I have been seated in Y.

Yes it does.


Only problem is transferring from NRT to HND in under 4 hours. The airport limousine is easiest and direct.

We're flying from Toronto drron (YYZ), not Vancouver

By "just one stop" I assume you 1 transit YYZ to BNE,. The 1 transit does limit you options,
Understand not wanting to transit USA.
Very few airlines fly both BNE YYZ. So a PNR/ticket with 2 airlines may be an option. If want to take more risk 2 separate tickets a possibility.
PR Philippines is due to join Oneworld, but unlikely by Sept 2027
If 2 transits for more options. With 2 transits YVR comes in to play, Then QF, FJ CX in addition to AC
Maybe a itinerary for real real travel agent

Fly the "wrong" way on an ME3? Although you may not wish to go through middle east.
I'm assuming you want it all on one ticket? (Otherwise there's ways to book two separate tickets opening you up to other hubs).

But Cathay, Korean and Eva air would be my best choices. Korean Air I think is slept on especially for economy.

I know your question was about soft product @bPeteb , but here are the 1 stop YYZ-BNE combinations for September this year (flightconnections.com )




If you want to stick with the same airline, its Cathay, Air Canada, Emirates or Qatar.
