- As for offline, Air Canada requires you to call their 800 number to list and pre-pay the departure tax.

- You can ride in the cockpit only on mainline.

- Global Entry saves time with US Customs pre-clearance. NEXUS saves time by getting you into the Canadian equivalent of TSA-Pre (and gets you Global Entry for $50...half-the cost of Global Entry. Weird, eh?)

- If you are in uniform you will get into a priority line but Canadians are freakishly compliant and do not believe in "crew cutting" so you will have to suck it up, eh?

That's all that comes to mind at this point....Good luck/Bon chance. 😊
