Aren't we glad to hear whenever an airilne does what it can to improve baggage handling? We've all been a victim of bad handling at some point whether we lost our luggage, had broken things. Good for us, Air Canada (AC) passengers who are coming through to the US won't have to get their bags and clear customs. That saves a good bit of time for those canucks! AC informed us that their new system will send checked bags to the passengers' connecting flights automatically. Statistics wise, the airline has approximately 355 flights from Pearson, and about 50 percent of the flyers have connecting flights in Toronto. And as of now, it has 148 daily flights to 51 cities in the states. Good move!
