Yeah I’m not sure how it would happen. Flying AA regional, we parked at the high B gates, as did Mainline and British and Volaris. I want to say pre Covid I remember…condor? Edelweiss? I think condor. Also parking there. Anyway. After the T2 got knocked down and consolidated to T3 (weeks before Covid), everyone except AA and WN used T3. Canada parks there, I assumed preclearance airports. When WN opened up their new D concourse extension, I heard rumors they’d have customs over there too. Doubtful though, last I checked (few months ago) WN was still parking international arrivals at high B and then towing back to C/D.
I know in reality it probably won’t happen with Volaris coming to PHX daily. But I would like it some day. Mexico is kinda fun, I never enjoyed flying in or staying in Canada. Or maybe Hawaii…yeah right.
