Regarding the YVR-Hawaii flights, this would, I presume, put Air Canada head-to-head in competition with Westjet, would it not? (...leading to price wars and deals? or maybe not...)

According to airliners.net, YVR-IST by TK will be announced anytime now

this was pretty fast seemed like they just started it a few months ago

YVR long-term parking is now a long haul from terminal

Airport has moved long-term economy lot 2.5 kilometres away from terminal

Travellers planning to leave their vehicles at the Vancouver International Airport for a few days now need to plan an extra leg into their journey — the new long term parking lot is 2.5 km away, and requires a SkyTrain trip to catch a flight.

YVR shut its old long term parking lot down last week, as construction begins on an expanded parkade next to the terminal.

There are big signs on Grant McConachie Way pointing travellers to the new lot, which is close to the outlet mall at the Templeton SkyTrain station.

People heading to the airport can ride the SkyTrain for free from there, but they still need to print a ticket from the kiosk.

Mixed reaction from travellers
Whitney De Beer and her child were at the new parking lot on Tuesday — though they weren't flying.

"Yeah this is a bit of a test run," said De Beer.

"We're travelling on Sunday, so we thought we'd park out here and see what everything was like. The only problem I foresee is it may be a bit of a hassle with baby, and luggage, and car seat."

She said the SkyTrain worked pretty well this time, but it adds a step to the trip.

Tom Powell was also parking at the economy lot on Tuesday, although he wasn't leaving town this time either. The added SkyTrain ride caused him some confusion.

"I wasn't sure what to do once I got here, and once I got inside I didn't know I needed a [ticket]," said Powell, adding that requiring a ticket for the free ride seemed like a waste of time.

There are signs posted around Templeton station but if you're in a rush, they could be easy to miss.

Indeed!! I thought that YVR-IST had been scuttled, and that it was now Ankara & Istanbul between YYZ and YUL only.
If anything is to be announced, won't it be that TK is going to Seattle? We'll find out in due course, but the whole issue of YVR and TK has been confusing to say the least.

LOL, I read the thread, some of the posters seemed quite adamant about new TK service to YVR. I'll believe it when I see it, and according to the posts, we won't have to wait long...

WRT hawaii service, i know a handful of people who transit from europe to hawaii via YVR. I suspect with more frequency this can be a unique niche for YVR, for european travelers who want faster travel times and to avoid drab US carriers via SFO and the circle of hell that is LAX.

I was thinking of that routing today too. The market would be fairly limited but still, YVR is definitely the closest routing possible, and better service for sure

Hmm, that dude on airliners is still talking up YVR-IST being announced in the next 60 days.

I normally wouldn't bump it, but TK today announced the purchase of 25 787s and 25 A350-900s.....

trofirhen · #**12688** Posted **Mar 12, 2018, 9:28 AM**

Could somebody please inform me where on 'airliners.net' I can find this entry all about the possibility of TK flying into YVR? I have looked on that site, but can't find the entry. Thank you.

March 15th and still no January numbers from YVR. Really taking their time on this one...

Hopefully the numbers are just so high it's taking them extra long to count them

In other news looks like a transborder boost from AA (if'm im reading the sheet correctly:

AA PHX-YVR going from 1x daily to 2x daily starting June and continuing into W18
http://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1388135

Ameircan had previously shown the 3x daily DFW service continuing into W18 as well but has since adjusted it back to 2x daily

osirisboy · #**12692** Posted **Mar 16, 2018, 11:17 PM**

Not much of a boost, more like no change. An extra flight a day to Phoenix and one less flight to Dallas.

Well except Dallas is always 2x in the winter, I think it was just a scheduling error showing it at 3x in W18.

2x daily for PHX in the summer is net new though I believe.

Yes

PHX summer used to be 2 daily a few years ago then dropped to one at the same time they dropped YYC (permanently) and YEG (became winter seasonal only on Eagle). Now PHX back to 2 daily summer.

DFW has been 3 daily summer 2 daily winter for years.

So this summer the gain is the second daily PHX compare to summer 2017.

And DL to SEA back to 7 daily including the new daily 739.

YVR transborder ops getting so close to 100 daily this summer. In fact on Saturdays there will be 99 transborder flights.

zahav · #**12695** Posted **Mar 17, 2018, 9:02 PM**

Looks like AA to LAX is back to American Eagle only, still 2x daily. Glad they are keeping the frequency, and then we still get the additional mainline as the 2nd daily PHX flight

Yes. And the first flight has been moved to an 0558 departure!

AA will still have 8 daily this summer:

DFW 3 mainline
PHX 2 mainline
LAX 2 Eagle
ORD 1 mainline

Overall, the airport has added 13 new airlines from 2013 to 2017. In terms of routes, CSIA has been successful in connecting many unserved routes such as Vancouver, Brussels, Seychelles, Jakarta, Bali and Kigali during 2016-17.

Whoa!! I looked at that link about CSIA (Mumbai Airport) ... and it said, under the rubric for 2017 .... Air Canada to VANCOUVER. (

) Does that mean via Delhi, or what?
With Mumbai (I like "Bombay" better, but...) being as I understand, the largest city in India, plus its financial hub. it would almost seem more logical to have YVR-BOM direct, rather than YVR-DEL. But there's an explanation for everything, and I'm sure I'll find out why and what, sooner or later, when someoneone on the forum sets me straight. Thank you.

They probably meant Air Canada to Toronto

Probably? Yes they meant Toronto... bad information!

And do we have to discuss the “why does AC fly YVR-DEL and not YVR-BOM” again? Has it been a month yet?

Somebody put me out of my misery!
