Can I fly out of and into the US after driving into it from Canada?
If I have a valid US visa and a Canadian PR, can I drive into the US, and then fly out of and into the country and then drive back to Canada upon arrival to get around the (usually) high Canadian airfares?
Are there any gotchas or issues I need to be aware of?
Best Answer
While you could certainly do this without any Visa implications - the challenges you will have are around:
- storing your vehicle
- sunk capital cost of vehicle
- cost of Fuel & Vehicle maintenance
- Your time
In short, there is an economic reason why plane travel continues to grow. It does make economic sense.
I have not looked into it - but possibly if there is a train that goes between your cities that would be a viable alternative to the idea of using a car the way you describe? And if you do your comparative sums carefully - you may be able to create a positive arbitrage.

Answer 2
No limitations on what you plan.
The only point to keep in mind is a potential time limit on your visa - if it allows for example 90 days, and you fly to Mexico , the clock continues running. So for example, if you stay 85 in Mexico, you have only 5 days left in the US - before and afterwards together. You don't get another 90 days when you 'only' went to Mexico (or Canada). If your Visa has no such limit, you are fine.
