My husband and I are flying to Nassau a week Sunday on Canada 3000 and I would like some advice. The airline tells me to be at the airport (Toronto) 3 hours before flight departure even though I've paid the extra and have pre-assigned seating. If anyone has had an experience with this situation (since Sept.11th) and could tell me how long it took them to check in I would greatly appreciate it. Even if you didn't have pre-assigned seating I would be interested in knowing the length of wait. <BR>Jennifer <BR> <BR>Jennifer

I recently flew to Asia and was at the was airport 2 hours prior and that was plenty of time. With Can. 3000 you have to be there at least an hour ahead or they can give away your seats even though you have paid for them.

Hi, I am a travel agent. For an international flight you really should be there 2 to 3hrs prior. Some times it seems like a waiste of time, but they will give your seat a way if you are not there. Also, I went for a flight one time with 1 1/2 hours to spare, and I almost missed the flight by the time I went through securety (travel agents never follow thier own advise, silly me, I tell my clients to be there early, and I am the one who held up the plane).

I also just booked a pre-assigned seat with canada 3000 and my travel agent did stress to be there minimum 3 hrs before departure! My flight leaves at 6 am! what would happen if i got there 2 hours ahead of time?

Not sure if you've heard or not yet..Canada 3000 is no longer flying and have filed for bankruptcy. Call your travel agent fast.

Just read that all Canada 3000 planes are grounded. One was siezed by the airport in New Foundland, that the airline owed them $400,000.<BR><BR>If you are going call your travel agent quickly and book another airline.<BR><BR>Good luck with your trip.
