Weekly Seat Comparison
BA 777 18x weekly: 5,344
BA 747 twice daily: 4,830

Sure, and I respect that.
In my book however, 4,800 seats to LHR is still better than 5,300 seats split between LHR and LGW, because I do distinguish between Heathrow and Gatwick. Airlines (and frequent fliers) clearly distinguish between the two as well.

I have that option as well (full flight credit for my upcoming trip to Italy), but I chose not to take it. I even had backup tickets with TS on the same dates, which I canceled today. Here's why.
1. In my case, the credit AC is offering is only valid until April, since I booked my trip last April. So it's only a ~7-8 month credit. Don't know if I will fly anywhere in that timeframe. Maybe, maybe not, so being forced to fly somewhere that I don't need to isn't a good deal in my book.
2. My AC flight that is at risk is
from Europe, meaning I would qualify for a 2x 600 Euros compensation in case of an AC strike, as per EC261 regulations.
3. The credit card with which I booked has flight delay compensation in case of a strike as well.
4. My TS backup flights, that I booked in May, cost $600 more, (since they were fully refundable tickets), so I would be minus 600$ from the start.
5. Plenty of decently priced last minute hotel deals are available in Rome, in case I am stuck there a few days.
6. Don't mind spending some extra days in Italy. There are worse places to be stuck.
Add all of these together, and I decided to risk it for my return flight.

Now this confirmed that YUL-ICN is a temporary route for this summer, and they still deciding whether to make it a regular (seasonal) flight or not. So the new YUL-NAP may very well coming from the 4x weekly here. But still, if they decide the make the route permanent, it wouldn't be hard to trim 3x or 4x weekly from all the YUL-Europe offering to restart the route. |
I think AC has been doing this for a while now. It's a good strategy. Trying out something, without commitment, to see how it goes.
I know for a fact YUL-DEL wasn't supposed to be permanent either. And yet, the route is still here, and has been expanded.
So we'll see if YUL-ICN sticks or not. Hopefully it does. We need more East Asian destinations from here, not less.
