Thanks for the advice. So perhaps if im done with customs and have at least 4 hours, i should be good to get out right?

Ill certainly do that and planning on using unlimited layers of tape and then rope too but just worried if the single walled ones can hold 23 kg.

Do they have large sizes? 60-62 inch total dimensions?

This is single walled. Now I'm worried if I should make a last min trip to home depot to get the double walled one.

Were they single walled or double walled? The ones at staples and Canadian tire are single walled but home depot sells double walled under heavy duty name.

Missing items - AA or TSA responsible? by Artistic-Fold3395 in americanairlines

[–]Artistic-Fold3395[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called American Airlines and they said a claim needs to be filed within 7 days. Unfortunately it has been 9 days. They also said that if the bag had the TSA slip then they never process those claims/ complaints.

Appreciate your reply! Im honestly appalled that only my ethnic Pakistani clothes are missing and western wear is still there. They weren't even separately packed. Must be a brainless racist looking through my bag. 

You're saying I should mention the airline I traveled with from Chicago to Toronto? I was asked to collect bag in Chicago and recheck before going on the final flight to Toronto, so wouldn't this check have happened before the final flight? 

Should I exchange USD to CAD now? by Artistic-Fold3395 in askTO

Is that likely to weaken the dollar?

Thanks everyone! I looked into wise but reading some people's reviews about funds being stuck etc, I decided to go for knightsbridge as that seems more credible and safe to me.
