A crowded airport concourse at YUL packed with travelers.

Yea. What also got me was what was there was mostly going towards the build up YUL as a transfer hub for European long haul vs YYZ.

If you have ever been at YUL during the evening rush, it is isn’t the nicest place to be.

Air Canada Adds Select Transborder Routes /CNW/ - Air Canada announced today it is adding new transborder flights and boosting capacity in select transborder markets for Summer 2026. Flights are now...

@moredotsmorelines.com you were wondering if/when AC would announce any US expansion. Interesting how the press release is all about 6th freedom customers. www.newswire.ca/news-release...

Had to proactively ask for more water. Nothing offered when clearing my dishes. Is there a shortage on this A350?

Flying BA for the first time in J—people pay for this? 2.5 hours in from LHR to get the main, but don’t expect anything to drink. They haven’t got to that yet.

I’ll stick with AF thanks.

Screenshot from Flightradar24 showing Edelweiss Air flight EDW1300 (WK1300), an Airbus A340-313 registered HB-JMG, flying from Zurich (ZRH) to Kangerlussuaq (SFJ). Scheduled departure 16:15, actual departure 16:44; scheduled arrival 19:15, estimated arrival 19:03.

The image above shows the aircraft taking off, painted in Edelweiss Air livery with a red nose and floral tail design.

This is quite the line! Meeting a cruise ship I assume. cc @moredotsmorelines.com

Farthest in each direction I’ve been in Canada:

S: Point Pelee ON
E: Cape Spear NL
W: Little Gold YT

Both (day in day, night in night)

Hello from 7 weeks on the road and my suitcase full of Dove soap bars.

A photo taken from 15,000+ ft. of an airport with two parallel runways.

So which airport is this?

Substack.

Does anyone still put 763s there? I remember when Air Canada would throw one down there to sweep things up after a storm.

Techbrahs are not the same as the rest of us.

Yea. It’s great leaving YTZ but always feels like a crapshoot going.

I did bike the last time I flew out of there, tho!

The Uber/Taxi queue is a zoo at the best of times. I usually Uber in and shuttle out.

And FWIW the shuttle isn’t a Porter operation (mostly Air Canada flyer into YTZ here)

We should have listened when the modems screamed at us.

This looks like fun!

The view is actually pretty sweet.

AI is a tool (sorry!) that people who are bad at their jobs will use badly and that people who are good at their jobs will maybe, possibly find some uses for. People who are terrible at their jobs (many executives), will tell their employees that they “need” to use AI, that their jobs depend on it, that they must become more productive, and that becoming an AI-first company is the strategy that will save them from the old failed strategy, which itself was the new strategy after other failed business models. The only journalism business strategy that works, and that will ever work in a sustainable way, is if you create something of value that people (human beings, not bots) want to read or watch or listen to, and that they cannot find anywhere else.

This is very good.

For the operations into Mexico? I'd say 100%. For Lima, maybe a frame off flights YYZ/YUL to LAX? They already push 77Ws into places like CUN even before the drop-off.

Air Canada Further Expands its Latin America Network; Resumes Flights to Lima, Adds Three New Hotspot Destinations ·       Four non-stop flights weekly to Lima, two each from Montreal and Toronto·       First Canadian carrier offering non-stop service- to Mexico’s buzzworthy Puerto Escondido from Toronto and a new...

@moredotsmorelines.com something seems to be up with Lima. Not just DL from SLC. Air Canada announced last week they are back from YUL and YYZ. Last time was the 2023/24 winter season (I think) www.aircanada.com/media/air-ca...

Fine view of it from the Costa Coffee across the street.

Grok knows where its bread is buttered.

I…I…I have been in Toronto longer than you!?

A screenshot from the Flightradar24 app showing real-time flight tracking data for a CargoJet Airways flight (CJT622) on a Boeing 757-223(PCF) aircraft with registration number C-FLPA. The map displays the flight path in green and blue lines, with the aircraft icon located near Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) in Nova Scotia, Canada. The flight departed from Moncton (YQM) 01:50 ago and arrived at Halifax (YHZ) 00:00 ago. The aircraft is currently at 0 feet barometric altitude and a ground speed of 14 knots. The map includes surrounding locations such as Dartmouth, Mount Uniacke, and Cooks Brook, with highways like 102 and 118 marked. The time displayed on the device is 08:26, and the screenshot includes a Wi-Fi signal indicator and battery percentage (74%). An inset image shows the CargoJet Airways plane on the tarmac, credited to @noccoaviation.

Glad I got in when I did. These boxes have been trying for awhile

Anyone who hates on YYZ hasn’t truly experienced YUL.

Forward view over the seatbacks of a mostly empty aircraft.

Maybe 14 people on this Air Canada Dash-8 to YOW this morning.

I really like this lounge. Air Canada / Aspire lounge at YTZ.
