What's the attitude recently for YYC security for allowing family through the nexus security line if only one parent has the card? That's been sort of discretionary in the past I think?

I'll push for gate check and see what happens.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I think 1 or 2 of those were gate checked (only reason i know is we gate checked a bag and they lost it so was in the baggage line with them)This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Last week, Tuesday morning I breezed right through Gate A. This week, same time, Tuesday had a massive lineup. A lot of people going home after visiting Stampede for the weekend though.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

As of recent it's still discretionary. You'll have to try and see.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Our youngest is still waiting but the rest of us have them and it was ok.
I've also gone through with a adult friend who doesn't have one.
If your child has their own seat you can also take the car seat (if approved) and use it as a booster on the plane.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Otherwise I would push for gate check but you'll have to lug it around.
We checked ours in this time to reduce the amount of stuff we're lugging around and it was checked in with the oversized items. Came out no issues at Heathrow (weekend of luggage mountain).

Or buy this booster seat and put it in your carry on bag. I have two.
I like neat cars.
You can gate check 2 items with a kid.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
We recently did this flying to and from Van (2 weeks ago).
I also have these and use them for travel.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
But I think Nismo's question was about a full-on car seat and likely even an infant one.
I've been stopped a few times for "random" extra screening at the domestic terminal in YYC over the past few months where they swab your carry on items, paying close attention to electronics. Every time this has happened, the person doing this extra search had instructed me to use the Nexus line (even though I don't have a Nexus card). Staff up at at the x-ray machine in the Nexus line have questioned me about my non-existent Nexus card, so I tell them that I was instructed to use the line after being subject to additional screening, and they were fine with that. The same thing has happened to me at the international terminal in YYC. So a possible unethical LPT is to use the Nexus line and says that you were told to use this line after being subject to additional screening...This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

I can't say that I've found YYC to be particularly busy since the new international terminal opened in late 2016. Haven't had any major problems/delays in the past 3 years, though I've pretty much flown exclusively with Air Canada and United over this time. Even pre-pandemic I had issues with Westjet, especially when arriving after 10 pm, when apparently there often aren't any gate staff and you wind up stuck on the plane for another 20-30 minutes.
25 mins from drop off to through security at international just now.
My buddy with Nexus got the 2 of us in no questions asked when we flew out to YVR last month. Friday afternoon but it wasn't insanely busy.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Mid afternoon domestic flight.
Dead at yyc.
I flew out of YYC a few days ago. All was good except for security. They had a dozen trays queued to be manually checked and this one chick spent like 20 minutes with some stupid bitch going through all of her little cosmetic bottles which she had not packed correctly. She got her a clear bag then started putting them in one by one. Of course they wouldn't fit in the 1L bag so she took them out one by one and asked which the girl wanted to throw out. Tries again, stacking them in one by one. Doesn't fit. Takes them out one by one. So on and so forth while a dozen of us waited to find out why the fuck our bags had been flagged (I was "randomly selected" to have a bomb swab per usual).
The rest of YYC was smooth sailing.
YUL in Montreal on the other hand... appropriately named Trudeau airport, was a fucking gong show. I won't even go into it but it honestly made me never want to fly again. Fucking trainwreck. They were showing ~50% of the flights as delayed but my flight (which was supposedly on-time according to the board) boarded an hour late so my guess is 100% of flights were delayed or canceled.
I guarantee if I hadn't caught COVID on my way in through there I would have caught it on my way out (who knows, maybe I caught it again).
Only good news is my luggage arrived (dirty and broken, but it's here).
Honestly, I'm happy to be out of Canada. Other airports I've been through recently have their issues but nothing like Trudeau International.
That sucks.
Montreal?? Probably got monkeypox too.
Flying to John Wayne airport next month. Purposefully avoiding LAX.
They are called MiFold. I believe Cdn Tire and many others sell them.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
