Junior Member ![]() | Enough time?
Let me start off by saying that this is a wonderful site, and is very helpful! I a first timer international (not yet flown) and have flown twice
__________________![]() I am departing cle on a puddle jumper (I think it only has like 50 seats) to Toronto (YYZ) then on to Fra. I only have an hour and a half before my plane departs for Fra. Is this enough time? What happens if I miss my plane? Do I get charged for missing it? Coming back I have like 2 hrs and not so concered. I do know that I have uncheck my bags and recheck them at YYZ. *still debating on taking just a carry-on* Thanks for any help that you can give me! |

As long as you are a United States or Canadian national, 90 minutes should be perfect. Otherwise, it might be a bit tight, but should be fine.
__________________As long as your travel is continuing on the same itinerary and ticket, you shouldn't have to worry about missing your connecting flight ("missconnect"). In the unlikely event that you miss it, your airline will take care of you on the next flight out. It's always easier (and there's less to worry about) when traveling only with carry-ons, especially when you need to change planes as you go through customs. 2 hours on the return should certainly be more than enough time. Welcome to ITYT! |

It's most likely you'll be funnelled into a special international arrivals baggage claim which feeds you straight through customs and right to the waiting arms of the bag re-check folks. You may find that the whole process only adds a few minutes to your processing and involves a dozen meters or less of walking with your bags. I don't think you've got anything to worry about. More importantly, don't let these little details distract you from your enjoyment of the trip. Sounds like you've got a great flight and visit to look forward to. Enjoy! | |

Hello: Toronto handles bagges quite efficiently, so I wouldn't worry too much. BUT, there's always screw ups due to delay. Always get cancellation and interruption travel insurance if you have unrestricted tickets. It's not very expensive, and it helps because it gives you peace of mind. If you get stuck in Toronto because you missed a flight, your hotel (if you have to stay overnight) and next ticket available is covered. |

Thanks everyone!!! I'm a brand new traveler.. more anxious than worried. ![]() Nugget, you are right... after searching I found the floor plans for YYZ and it does have the funnel effect to it. |

My guess is your on Air Canada or their codeshare Lufthansa. The standard for the two is only 1 hour. Originating from the U.S. or even Canada you do not need a long layover. You will clear everything at your point of departure. When you return you will clear in YYZ which is why that connection is longer.
