Better check to see if Swiss will still be running flights to Toronto in September <_<

You might want to consider Buffalo to NYC and then to Europe - you might even save some money to boot.

Unfortunately my traveling companion (mother) cannot legally get into the US so that option is a dead end :(

Daniel, if your looking to travel to Europe, you also have, British Airways, Air Transat, Air France as other options, or you may have to look into Sencondary airlines/airports such as flying out of Hamilton International.

twice in 6 years..yes, the first time was only for the fact to "acquire" Canadian Airlines..they were not considered a "threat" in terms of competition. BUT, take into account, if you "Takeover" an airline you assume their contracts/routes, which basically Canadian Airlines had a stranglehond of ALL the Pacific/Asian destinations which = BIG BUCKS. i.e a First Class ticket (round trip) from Toronto to Hong Kong is aprox. $18 thousand dollars I KID YOU NOT!!!, and 1st class on these flights is ALWAYS sold out. So you see where the money is on that one, we even prioritize that flight with the flight # 001.

More than likely if something WERE to happen, most of the N/A flights would be pushed over to United & US Airways since they are also 'Star Alliance' members/airlines.
