(July 2015) I remember sane arrival times in the summer last year but it was 1x daily (IIRC, which I very might well be not doing).

Is 3x a year normal for this route in the summer? Also, does anyone know why the SEA arrivals are at such a late hour for just, what appears to be, the winter?

Thanks!
YYZ-SEA usually gets two daily flights during summer time.
One during the day (or morning...I forget) and one in the evening.
Sounds like they added another flight for summer this time.
I guess this route is seeing increasing traffic.

As far as the arrival time in SEA goes, I think if they operate only one daily flight, the preferred departure time is in the evening so people can get to the airport after finishing regular hours of work, which results in a bit of a late arrival time in SEA.
