actually in Vancouver, when taking any flights to the US, the entire check-in, customs and visa stuff is done here itself. when we get to the other side we merely sail thru. but we are still international passengers.

On December 16th, Iberia commenced flights between Gibraltar and Madrid, which was one of the positives to come out of the Cordoba Agreement between UK, Spain and Gibraltar earlier in the year. While this in itself is not newsworthy (except for Gibraltarians), the interesting tidbit is how they deal with the airport. Spain has a long-standing claim to Gibraltar airport - different from its claim to Gibraltar itself. So, now the airport has a terminal on the Spanish side of the border between Gibraltar and Spain. Spaniards check-in there, and are taking a domestic flight. Gibraltarians check in at the old terminal, and are treated as international (albeit within EU) passengers. So, Gibraltar airport is the only airport I know of that sits across an international border. And that Iberia flight is probably the only point-point flight which has part domestic, part international passengers. Binand
