Flying to Newfoundland

[tim88]

has anyone driven to canada and then flown to newfoundland?

its about an hour or 2 longer to drive to Ottawa airport than the 2 closest airports in the US and makes it 5 hours of flying/layovers instead of 15+ hours. I know i will eat time at the border crossing going into canada and then again checking the gun into the airport but it still seems like 10 hours savings + $1,000 savings might make it worth the trip

I drove from West Virginia… if I didn’t want to being meat and antlers and hides, I’d have flown. Or paid to have had the meat shipp3d. M

i'd love to drive since i'm in upstate NY. I just don't have the time and the dropoff for meat isn't too bad of a drive. all cost $$ but to keep the wife happy and keep clients happy is worth something too

Do yourself a favor… take one of those yeti soft sided cooler things, and pack it full of your back straps and tenderloins… if you don’t, you will barely get any of it back. Ask me how I know.

Just an FYI. I have a lot of friends who fly out of YUL. It's become a thing in Montreal where if you have a certain model of car and US plates it very likely could get stolen. I know about 5 people first and second hand who's vehicles have been taken including from the airport. I live very close to the border. I know it's less of a thing in Ontario, but it's still a thing from what I was recently reading as I was looking to go to Ottawa for some stuff. Long story short, they like American vehicles as we don't get insurance discounts for trackers so people don't have them. Your parking lot, etc have a lot to do with it too. You can also yank one of the main fuses or your fusable link to disable it. It's cut down on our Montreal trips as hotels with safe parking are way more money than regular ones.
