Effective tomorrow (May 1) a realignment and streamlining of the flight numbers is occurring. Flight 123 to YEG? Guess again - It's now YVR. 143 YUL-YEG?
No more - Now YYZ-YYC. It will be a learning curve (myself included).

Here's the List:

001-099 Asia, South Pacific, India, Middle East, South America
100-199 Transcontinental Canada YYZ>YVR/YYC/YEG
200-257 Western Rapidair Triangle YVR-YYC-YEG
258-299 Western Canada Domestic
300-399 Transcontinental Canada YUL/YOW>YVR/YYC/YEG
400-499 Eastern Rapidair Triangle YYZ-YUL-YOW

Thank you!!! and yes I know, I've spent so long memorizing the flight number that it's starting to mess with me a lot. Like the YVR - YYZ red eye number is now the YYC - YYZ red eye number etc.

You aren't the only one! And +1 on the thanks to ACYYZ/SD.

@ ACYYZ/SD

Thanks for posting and reminding. ^

Other than the transcons, I don't see any obvious re-numbering in that list?

Thnks for postinng.

Does that mean we'll get bombarded by itinerary change e-mails. And that cancelling latitude pass flights will crash again and entail phoning in?

How does ACA7141 fall into this category? It's a cargo flight CYHM-MMMX that operates weekly.

Thanks for sharing! We will see how long it takes to catch up on everything again

Haha, you guys are even bigger nerds than me !

I memorize WS flight numbers because I've worked under them for years, but never really memorized much of the AC sked despite being a frequent passenger. I mean AC 156 has always been YVR-YYZ red eye for me and always departing the same gate. But beyond that, and AC 963, or was it 962, was the flight to BOG for a long time.

On this topic, I had a bit of a chuckle twice in the past couple weeks with flights/numbers.

At SFO the other night, I noticed SQ 1 to SIN and then UA 1 also to SIN departing close to each other. Then at EWR I noticed UA had 2 flights so San Jose departing both at exactly 1630, of course one was to SJO and the other SJC, but try explaining that to the people flying to SYD that end up at YQY .

Would be useful if this were a temporary sticky! Mods?

ACYYZ/SD

There are several.

YYZ-ORD/BOS Service switches from "300" series to "500" series with significant increase back to mainline service almost exclusively on E190's.

YYZ-BOS Flights 516>530
YYZ-ORD Flight 503>515

Thanks for the summary ACYYZ/SD. One thing that I had noted is that the 300 number is also used for the few ex-YYZ transcon heading elsewhere than YVR, YEG, YYC (such as YYZ-YMM).

GJS - yow

Or add a link to this thread from the one sticky that we do have...

I hope they take the opportunity to flip AC1/AC2 with AC5/AC6. Always find it strange that the 1 flight is seasonal.

yyznomad

Yeah or that!
