So the question remains, why is the YYC-YVR flight more than LHR-YVR?
And if I could fly YYC-LHR for ~300gbp (which is more than likely +/- 100), then same price, but 8000 more miles.</font>
AC is probably trying to get more people to fill their planes, thus giving a cheaper price than SQ and QF. Of course, LHR-YVR-SYD is >4000 miles more than LHR-SIN-SYD which would be SQ, QF, and BA's routings. And, the downside is that you lose two days doing LHR-YVR-SYD.
