[daft009]

thanks all.

want to keep it simple for my FIL who is 70+ and travelling alone for the funeral.
he can manage 5hrs in Y!

EDIT: Still no Canada ETA, but have booked the ticket! have asked relos if they can get a letter from the hospital etc just incase

hmm. aeroplan is selling for 87.5k points but only a ~100min transit.
reluctant to buy aeroplan points if it takes ~72hrs for the points to be credited.

using VFF there is nothing on one 1 PNR

yep, will do the ETA next, thanks for the reminder

100 min transfer is fine… it will be protected in the case of a miss connect.

Hopefully you'll get your flights sorted soon. Don't forget to potentially look into hotels as well if hes not necessarily looking at staying with the relatives.

As you are waiting on a Canada ETA, I assume the FIL is not a Canadian citizen - so you had better get a wriggle on about the return flights as

Visitors not holding return/onward tickets could be refused entry.

(or at least book a refundable onward flight to the US or the like).

yeah will book this evening... full cash fare is the only option I found
overall ~$6.7k return in 75% J I am happy with, being last minute and all
