And my apologies it's referred to as a 77W by Air China, not an HD.

If these last remaining ones are not on a lease, AC may have them for a long time.

Delta in fact bought 19 of the 20 E190s that Air Canada sold to Boeing. They then promptly sold them.

Just booked....

MEL-YVR-YYZ-YUL-YVR-MEL for XMAS flights.

Very fortunate to have a direct link between my two homes...

I knew it was going to happen (I even had the scoop on the flight numbers)

Timing is everyhing....

My mistake then. I thought Boeing was taking all of them when AC bought their 737s.

The E190 doesn't get a lot of love from airlines, it would seem.

AC's seasonal YVR-DEL route will commence earlier this year and will increase to 5 flights per week.

I wonder if / when that will ever go to year-round? Vancouver certainly has the market base for it.

[excel]

Great news for the route. I think we'll see daily seasonal before we see year round, but I imagine both are in the cards down the road.

Agreed. This is a VERY seasonal route. Moving it to 5 per week is a huge vote of confidence too.

Weird timings, is the YYZ flight getting new times too?

YYZ doesn't change (except for the operating date change for BOM flights from x357 to x246)

Perhaps people don't like the 5:20am departure time from DEL...

I count a few more than two homes! I thought you were a Calgarian?

That's HUGE! I was worried the fight wasn't doing so well, very happy to see otherwise!

I wanted to support the flight myself, but I flew to India in May so no chance to do so. That and my YVR-DEL roundtrip through Shanghai was $640 all in, so even if it was still flying that would have been a tough sell...

Thanks! As noted in the YouTube description, it was shot on a Panasonic GH3 and a GH5.
