Even AC has cheaper fares despite YVR being their hub!
Yes, there are quite a few other airlines that fly this route. But they all consist of 1-2 stopovers. And pricing wise....they are anywhere between $59x to $64x depending on the carrier, for most off-peak dates. And often times even in the $7xx range. Unless one prefers to travel on a specific alliance for mileage earning purposes....I don't think CX' pricing is
that bad.
Aside from non-stop service...the huge advantage is you're flying on a long-haul product with flat bed in J and F. As where if you're traveling on the other airlines....it would most likely be a regional jet only. Service and food wise....lets not even go there
There might be cheaper fares in the near future...but right now the DL non-stop flight is priced at $806.81 USD.
