eAPIS for international flight

[IflyIllini]

Has anyone tried to use eAPIS yet? Any tips and suggestions for me? I am planning a trip to Canada and want to try it out.

Also, it looks like AOPA wants feeback too. Here is a link to the survey they put out: http://surveys.aopa.org/cgi-bin/qwebcorporate.cgi?idx=24PP5J

Haven't done eAPIS yet, but going into Canada you might look into the CANPASS. We got it in preparation for our Alaska trip (that didn't happen). It was pretty painless. Hopefully we'll have an opportunity to use it before they require 406s.

There WAS a huge bug in E-APIS that resulted in email being sent out and unreadable in Outlook. It was fixed recently. I've registered (medium PITA) and will probably submit an itinerary to Canada as a test this month, and then won't actually make the trip.

Note - define your family or regular passengers as "Crew" in eAPIS - that way their information is retained.
