Re: Has anyone found a hotel for Quebec City that isn't exorbitant?

Why is this being discussed here?  Logistics about Quebec and how to
get there should be discussed on 81attendees.

How is travel significantly more difficult to Quebec City?  It's one plane

direct if you're close enough.

If you look at the number of cities served by direct flights from Vancouver a
nd
Quebec, you will see that the number for Vancouver is much higher.  Vancouver
also has lots of direct flights to Europe.

And each extra hop in a flight path, gives the chance of missing a connection
,
the airline losing your bag and all that.

My flight in changes in Newark and out in Chicago, both major
intercontinental hubs which means there are plenty of long-range connection
s
that are no more difficult.

In my case, coming from Europe, that means that I have to go through US
customs, recheck my bags and wait for the next plane.  That is a minimum
of 2-3 hours extra.

There appears to have been a collective retreat from reality that day.
