That would give Air Canada a solid advantage over British Airways, Air Transat and Virgin Atlantic.
Imagine:
YVR - LHR 05:30 - 22:40 767
YVR - LHR 18:30 - 11:40 767
I would take the early flight anyday! It will probably never happen because of possible delays and the 11:30 pm LHR curfew and the lack of feeder flights that early in YVR.
Has any airline ever tried a European dayliner from the west coast?
I think that an 05.30 departure is not likely going to be attractive to many.
LAX-LHR probably has 8 rotations a day, all overnight flights, if a dayliner could work from the west coast, you'd see it there first.
