The flights may actually have to stop in YEG or YYC on the way north. Anyone know if YQU or YMM can handle international flights? If they can't, plane will stop in YEG or YYC for customs clearance. I believe this is what Sunwing does with the service to YBG, stop in YQB for customs.
Hopefully it won't be a bus ride for YMM or YQU after the stop in YEG!!
