Really, how can you tell how the terminal is going to look based on those sh*tty renderings??

Seriously....

I would hope that they would add some new check-in space on the south side of the terminal, otherwise there would be a very long walk to the far pier.

They were Ok, but yields were pretty bad.

We lose them before we even get them.

I am not surprised.

240glt · #**3608** Posted **Apr 2, 2009, 9:10 PM**

So really we didn't lose anything I suppose ?

It looks like I am going to London and Paris in July. Looking forward to being able to fly straight there.

Fair ain't got nothing to do with it. Considering that AC is circling the ol' bankruptcy drain again I'd rather see them making moves to make money, instead of just wasting it away even more.

Heck I'm still waiting to see if any axes fall on YYC, I keep hearing that BA is struggling on the LHR route.

It's no surprise considering how much they are charging! What is surprising is that they are actually cheaper than AC. I was going to fly with BA this September until I saw how much cheaper it's to go with Flyglobespan.

I wouldn't go with Flyglobespan, what little good I hear is always overshadowed by HUGE delays and nothing but problems for people that book with them.

Yeah Flyglobespan is pretty risky if you want to keep any sort of schedule. Supposedly they're getting better, but that's an airline that makes Air Transat look like Singapore Airlines!

AC just announced an incredible seat sale to Asia, damn I wish I had the time to a take trip in near future.

Cheers for the heads-up gentlemen! Air Transat had similar fares but I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole. As such, I guess I'll have to spend a few less nights at the club and go with BA.

Summers the flight was full, winters not so much.. even with the reduced schedule

EdmTrekker · #**3617** Posted **Apr 4, 2009, 6:26 AM**

1. Just got an email from AC with changes to my Non-Stops to/from YEG to LAS in August advising they cancelled the Non-Stops (THURS AND SUN) and now the itinerary SHOWS ME CONNECTING THROUGH CALGARY - ADDING 5 HOURS TO MY TIME EACH WAY!!) on a PROP from YYC to YEG!!!.
2. I just called AC and advised since THEY made the change, I am exercising my right to cancel and am flying WJ now - NON-STOP as the changed times are not acceptable.

Screw Air Canada!!

I have 2 other trips planned with them elsewhere and am looking to cancel them. I will use SFO,SEA,SLC as connecting cities.

Rogie · #**3618** Posted **Apr 4, 2009, 8:23 AM**

The LAX flight seems to disappear until sometime in October, and I also noticed the YHZ non-stop doesn't seem to be on the AC schedule this summer, either. Calgary-Halifax non-stop is on the sked starting May 1... a daytime flight, no less.

Rocket252 · #**3619** Posted **Apr 4, 2009, 2:14 PM**

As Air Canada's financial situation worsens we may have to go through Calgary on more and more flights.

ue · #**3620** Posted **Apr 4, 2009, 3:29 PM**

That really —. No offense Calgary, why do we always have to connect flights with you?
