    Toronto over Thanksgiving

    So myself and nwafan20 are going to be taking a trip up to Canada to YYZ for some spotting. We would like to know if anyone would like to join us. We also need some help on where to spot, we have found a site but is there any Public Transportation?

    Dates:

    Arrive, Nov. 25th at Night
    Leave, Nov. 29th at Night

    Hey guys, also a note, if any of you want to join us your more than welcome.

    There seems to be a lack of reliable spotting information for YYZ.....

    Toronto seems like a very decent airport for spotting. I transferred through there 4 times this summer but never had time to spot. They get a nice batch of aircraft visitors as well.

    Stuart, are you flying LAN!?

    I'd love to join you guys but I think I might be going down to Puerto Rico to visit family.

    *BOOKED*

    Decided to go through TOL to get on the Saab, and take the later flight to YYZ to get on the E-175. 2 new aircraft types for me, plus I have never been on a regional jet, so this is a prop regional and a ERJ. Should be fun.

    Nov. 25th:

    NW 3152, Mesaba Saab 340 Seat 3D
    Depart TOL 5:00 PM
    Arrive DTW 5:52 PM

    NW 1814, Compass E-175 Seat 12A
    Depart DTW 9:21 PM
    Arrive YYZ 10:32 PM

    Nov 29th:

    NW 1503, Northwest DC-9-30 Seat 14A
    Depart YYZ 4:30 PM
    Arrive DTW 5:46 PM
    nwa FOREVER!

    Stuart! You should have used American mileage to fly on LAN!

    Have a great trip, and please provide details on the trip and spotting. I will, most likely, be visiting my cousins in Toronto over the Christmas break, and spotting is, as always, a must!
