You still have to purchase a ticket. Flying standby just means you are trying to get on a different flight and hoping there is a seat available.

Some airlines charge for that privilage:eek:
 
Toronto is the most expensive airport for the airlines. I always got the impression that YYZ had a huge number of international arrivals/departures, and it's interesting to see you guys looking for alternatives.

I would also suggest, if you don't mind the drive and the hassle, to look into flying out of JFK, pretty much thee standard entry point to the US from Europe and elsewhere. Just about every airline in the world flies there, and you would have more options than smaller airports like Buffalo, which will probably just fly you to JFK anyway.
 
According to the Russian forum, there's cheap flight Aeroflot out of YYZ

If not, I agree with High_Roller, go to JFK or CHI, then to Heathrow or Frankfurt as major hub for more international choices enroute to Mother Russia.

Bon Vonage.
 
You might want to try Kayak.com to get a broader search. Seems like you might be able to find something a little more reasonable but keep in mind that summer is high season to Europe.

Looks like Alitalia (thru Milan) and Delta (thru Atlanta) are going to come up around CDN$1500 or so.

Safe travels.

ps. Oh, they don't do standby like the old days when you could fly on a 'standby' basis/ticket for a lot cheaper.
