13 I think for me. Those of you with 30 or 40+ are impressive, I guess I need to get out more.

Just booked a flight too Phoenix in start of March for 4 days. My flight down is on WestJet, and coming home is a Delta flight, Operated by WestJet. Anyone know that means?

The coming home way means Delta sold you a ticket on a Westjet flight. Generally that makes no difference (still on a westjet plane, same baggage rules, etc). If things go wrong technically it would be Delta that has the obligation to get you to your destination

I've been trying to do something with no success and think there may be some more skilled folks on here who can help.
Can you search for flights from Calgary, specific time range, sorted by price, but leave the destination blank? Basically I'd like to peruse inexpensive flights to anywhere for funsies. Maybe Winnipeg ends up on the top of that list, but I'd keep moving down until there's a location we haven't been which looks good. It's the dartboard game, but using cost to eliminate the risk of landing on a spot which will cost us thousands.

I think you can do that using https://flights.google.com (or at least segment it by entire countries so Calgary to any city in the USA, etc.)

Finally done, almost seven hours of driving for a five minute interview, picture and fingerprints. A year to the day from getting my application initial approval. I should have gotten Nexus long before COVID, but at least I'll have it for the next year plus of heavy business travel.

I'm not understanding why you had to drive down to the border and they didn't have a local (I assume Calgary?) place for the interview and process? After all, Nexus is available on flights from Calgary.

The US stopped doing interviews in Canada because the Canadian government said the US agents up here couldn't have guns at work.

Do not recommend. It is kind of a dump and pretty expensive. The Atlantis resort is pretty cool but it is getting old and somewhat run down. The water park and slides have seen better days but the resort does have a pretty sweet beach. I do like the new Margaritaville resort but I do not like the room prices there.

So they picked up their toys and left the sandbox basically.
Otherwise phrased - their need to bear arms superseded Canadian law.
How bizarre.

Well, it's not like you can get a Nexus interview at a US airport either. Seems fair. The program disproportionately benefits Canadians.
They're CBP officers. It's cool for the ones at the airport preclearance facilities and land crossings to be armed, but not at Nexus enrollment centers?
Anyway, it's over. https://www.wsj.com/articles/canada-...te-11673401901

Apparently they have a deal (or are close) and things should resume this spring. I saw it in the news a few days ago.

Seconded. We were on a cruise that stopped there for a day. Atlantis is tacky at best.

So it’s super easy enough to search for one-way trips *from* Calgary and look for cheap destinations, but if you’re interested in doing a return from another city, is there a resource available to find where the cheapest flight *to* Calgary would from? The price from / to Calgary don’t always directly correlate.

Do you have a region in mind? On itasoftware you can put in any number of airports, and they have a tool to search airports by radius.
So you can search a one way from say every airport in Western Europe to Calgary
