They can't even get on a boat to cross the Atlantic.

Does anybody know if other countries reference the U.S. no-fly list? Could one of these plaintiffs drive to Canada and travel abroad that way?

Canada has it's own version of the no fly list which includes data from the US no fly list.

I would imagine that travelling through South American countries would be a better option (ie., the only option).

Canada and the US share data. It may be possible but that probably depends on your personal situation. If you can get across the border you'd be okay I would guess, although you better hope the flight doesn't fly into (or over) US airspace.
