Interestingly the YEG flight looks fairly booked and YYC rather empty with YYC having the lower fares too. Hmmm... I suspect YYC will be taking a big hit with the economy and while there will be a big impact in YEG too perhaps this will be cushioned as our economy never falls as fast as Calgary's does (or rise as fast either).
Looks like a fair bit of space on both, with the YEG-LHR being on a 763 and the YYC-LHR being on a 772, so a pretty significant difference in aircraft size.
I do see that the YEG-LHR for Sunday (tomorrow) is J9R5, while the YYC-LHR is J9R0. Looks like AC is showing YEG some love by being more generous with R space ;-)
