That's interesting. And agree that going to twice weekly only directly from YYT is going to suck big time. The lie flat bit is nice if you have the status but I dropped down to E35 for this year and will not even meet P25 for next year as I've changed to WJ for my summer season flying.

I wonder whether this has something to do with deployment (or retirement?) of the two A319 ETOPs aircraft, C-GITP/C-GITR, which are used on the YYT-LHR route?
