Whenever possible, I fly out of Buffalo. Half the cost and hassle of Pearson.
The neat thing about being government is a company, like an airline, has to work really, really hard to provide a service the public will pay for. If you are government, you can just come along and slap on a revenue-producing tax willy-nilly. You don't have to be good, or competent, or anything. Same thing with taxes on gasoline.

Thanks for the information..I really don't understand why the air travel tax is so much? The ticket is so expensive and then one had to pay tax also..
