The skyclub access in SEA alone I think has to be minimum $30-$50 savings depending on how much I drink compared to hitting an airport restaurant.

YYC-SEA has been $299 in Y and $399 in J all year on DL. Yeah, only a CR7 but worth it for SEA skyclub and free drinks alone. The single crappy J seat is also MUCH better than the 2/2 Y config in the back.

I remember back in the day jumping on $150-$200 LMU's YEG-YVR thinking it was an amazing deal lol. People must not like flying DL out of YYC or they must be trying to gain some market share out here.

If they would try a bit harder by upping the frequency of flights to MSP, I would fly them a lot more. Speaking as somebody that *could* switch about 90% of my spend and flying from AC to DL if they did that.
