And if I miss it, that would kinda suck, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings.
I'm travelling alone for work, so I should be able to get a single seat in the first 15 rows with just a light backpack, and will have a preferred member car rental. I assume if the plane lands on time at 1:20 I'll be in the car by ~1:40. Google is predicting 30-40 minute drive to a mall parking lot inside the path of totality. ~ 1 hour to spare for the various things that could go wrong.
I was just wondering if anyone would have any advice. would the 407 or 403 south from the airport be better at 2:00 in the afternoon?
If I don't get away, how good is a 99.4% eclipse at the Toronto Airport, vs a 100% eclipse in Oakville.?
Anywhere good in Oakville to Park for free for 30 mintues?

Plan a route with Google for that time of day on a Moday to get an idea what would be the best route. I do wonder though, if all of Toronto will be heading that way that day.
