YVR Airport & Sea Island Developments Discussion

[trofirhen]

I wonder if SQ might start SIN - YYZ service? New York has it, so it's feasible. I mention YYZ because it is a major financial centre, as is Singapore, apparently now surpassing HK as a financial centre.
The math would seem to imply greater LF and YF for this route instead of out of YVR. It would be YYZ's gain and YVR's loss, nevertheless.

Base W23 schedule for Flair is out.

From YVR:
15x weekly YYZ
11x weekly YYC, YEG
7x weekly YLW
5x weekly YUL
4x weekly YKF
3x weekly YWG, YXE
2x weekly YOW

9x weekly PVR
7x weekly LAX, LAS
4x weekly SFO
3x weekly SJD

So notably, PSP and AZA are cut.

This may have been mentioned already. AC launching YVR-IAD 5x per week flights starting June 1. The link also notes between AC and UA, there are/will be 11 daily YVR-SFO flights, not sure if that is a change.

you listed SJD twice?

that said ... great to see LAS up to daily and not cut so that route will now be 5 daily flights to LAS from YVR ..... love it!

2 x daily WestJet (737-800)
2 x daily AirCanada (737 MAX 8)
1 x daily Flair on (737 MAX 8)

The 9x weekly one suppose to be PVR. Original post is updated.

Looks like next winter YVR will still have 5 based planes from Flair but YVR base will take over the YYZ route.

#1 daily YVR-LAX-YVR-LAS-YVR-YYZ-YVR (arrive next noon)
#2 daily YVR-PVR-YVR-YLW-YVR
#3 (4x) YVR-YYZ-YVR-YYC-YVR, (3x) YVR-SJD-YVR-YXE-YVR
#4 (from noon) (5x) YVR-YUL-YVR, (2x) YVR-PVR-YVR
#5 (4x) YVR-SFO-YVR-YYZ-YVR, (3x) YVR-???-YVR-YWG-YVR

#6 (YEG base) YEG-YVR-YYC-YVR-YEG
#7 (YEG base) YEG-YVR-YYC-YVR-YEG

So they can still add a new route for ???, may be one of PSP or AZA, but can be anything around that distance (or shorter). Other than that, looks like the entire winter schedule for 5 planes is full.

W22 YVR also had 5 planes during winter, but one of the plane was at TUS for more than half of the time, and YYZ base fly most of the YVR-YYZ flights.

I’ve been AC Elite 50 or above for 10 yrs until 31.12.2022

Right now in the security line (YVR Int’l) we are listening to an endless loop on the PA system of a call to Lea Allan Jang McDugall (or similar) to pick up a customer service phone for a message. Unbelievably poor taste - YVR management would be advised to look at quiet terminal practice. This practice would not win any best airport points.

Now at D65 and the damned mssg continues, twice in Eng and some again in Fr

Extremely unlikely, that is an incredibly long flight and would require a very premium heavy aircraft.

If SQ does return to Canada I'm sure it will be to YVR, but I doubt they will any time soon which is very disappointing. Really makes me wonder why they jumped through all those hoops to come to a domestic code share agreement with AC only to bail a few weeks later.

great work .... only issue I see is

LAS is B7M8 for AC

example >> https://www.flightstats.com/v2/flight-tracker/AC/1058

[nname]

Also, for AC

LAX is 7M8
SFO is 7M8 and CR9

I expect ORD to change to something else, perhaps 7M8. AC current do not have enough mainline 319 to run the route.

AC is throwing most of their 7M8 to YVR, so if a route is mainline, most likely you'll see 7M8 on it.

Also, AC is 5x daily SEA and 3x daily SAN, both with CR9

Looking at other columns...
CX no longer flies to JFK
B6 is A320 for both routes
DL no longer flies to JFK, and single daily mainline A319 to SLC
AA no longer flies to PHX, and 2x daily DFW and 1x daily LAX
AS is 4x weekly PDX
F8 suspend LAS for the peak summer season because they need the plane elsewhere
SY don't have A220... I think they fly some variant of 737 here?
WS is 2x weekly SAN, 3x weekly PSP, and 4x weekly SNA... they're moving some services to YYC

Cathay Pacific is still here? I wish they continue to fly to JFK.

Looks great. One change. Alaska is part of One world. It is not an independent airline anymore.

[LeftCoaster]

Thanks guys, didn't know Alaska had fully joined Oneworld, I just thought they were partnering with American, similar to Westjet and Delta. I have revised based on your comments.

Overall slight decreased based off a review of the SanFran equipment, more RJ and less mainline than I had previously.

One other Alaska change. The Q400 are gone from the fleet. The Embrear 175 is their regional jet these days.

Looks good.

AA to DFW increasing to 17 weekly.
A 4x weekly red eye being added at 2305 departure operating Thursdays through Sundays
An all A321 affair though!

4x weekly July
Daily for the first half of August

So in the peak summer, there will be up to 6 transborder departures after 10pm, or 8 after 9pm...

[Johnny Aussie]

^ I didn’t see DFW going to three daily in August and all on the larger A321.
All up AA back to five daily and a big capacity increase with more F too

[hollywoodcory]

WS loaded its full S23 schedule this weekend

YVR-LAX Reduced to 2x daily
YVR-SFO Reduced to 1x daily
YVR-LAS appears to run 12-14x weekly.
Probably more changes, haven't bothered to look into domestic yet.
