I like to try and fly Business Class which meant if I wanted to fly UA or CO I had to pick UA and it had to be through ORD.
I was randomly checking flights today and noticed YHZ-EWR is now serviced by an E170 in two class! When did this happen? It used to be a CO EMB 120 ( two seats on right, 1 seat on left, all economy)
I guess there must be enough volume to justify going from a 30 seat plane to a 70 seat plane with F class.
This opens up new posibilties to me and I'm happy. I was curious as to when this change happened and is it just seasonal? Anyone know if this route is doing well or will it get axed like the YHZ-IAD route did?
I noticed this too trying to book an award to LHR -- it routed me through YHZ with EWR-YHZ showing an RJ with first class.
So it's real, an ex-UA bird, enjoy it for now. Maybe cutting IAD justified extra capacity.
Halifax is a great town by the way!!
