Be careful what you wish for. It takes a lot longer to get something back than it takes to remove it. Look how long it took to get alot of our transborder routes back after Covid.

The transborder pre-clearance is a massive asset when travelling. Would be a very sad day if that was closed.

^Keep the pre-clearance area, but let's be pro active and set aside a area for a train/LRT station.

I flew home from Vegas on Wednesday. They had cancelled our direct and instead made us connect from Calgary. Despite consolidating these flights, plus the fact that there were people going on to other cities like Saskatoon from Calgary, the flight from Vegas to Calgary had lots of empty seats.

As is always the case! Typical over saturation of YYC seats that YEG’ers and other prairie cities are forced to fill…….

Also according to a CTV news article from September 25, just a few days about Air Transat & WestJet are reevaluating their US
flight routes as demand drops.This Winter season will see (some) cuts on US flights by Canadian
airlines still.But it will be done 1 month at time (depending on demand)
Consolidating of more US nonstop flights by Canadian Airlines through Toronto YYZ, Vancouver YVR, Montreal YUL & Calgary YYC Hubs - as good example : Air Transat Moncton- Orlando route is cut.
Air Transat, WestJet re-evaluate flights to the U.S. as demand drops
In a notable shift in strategy, Air Transat and WestJet are re-evaluating their flight offerings between Canada and the United States, while simultaneously increasing service to popular sun destinations in the Caribbean and Mexico.

Does that mean they will code share everything through YYZ?

I think they’ll just codeshare on the cities they don’t currently fly to. Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver aren’t on that list, and all 3 are served by AA already.

That is what I was trying to get at. I don’t think we will see any new routes to US just more options through YYZ.

On a more positive note there will be new routes to new destinations announced on or before 27th of October Speculate away.
