Think they might have twigged, this summer prices YYT-LHR are about 50% less than a year ago. Interestingly, LHR-YYT is over double the price of YYT-LHR, so Dublin is still my airport of departure if I need a UK-Canada ticket but that's by the by. I don't have much travelling planned this year but if I did, I know I'd actually buy a ticket to London, either direct or through Toronto rather than around the houses!
I don't think it has to do with spend, at least not as a single criteria.
I think it has to do with potential.
