Related to my question on bicycle baggage fees elsewhere on this forum (Bicycle baggage fee on Lufthansa flights purchased through Air Canada), one of the options I'm looking at for going from AMS to YQQ is AMS->YYZ->YVR->YQQ, all on Air Canada.

I want to take a widebody flight from YYZ to YVR, but if I go with that option then there's only a 47 minute layover in YVR, and it's the last YVR-YQQ flight of the day. I'm not too worried about making the YVR-YQQ flight myself (arrival and departure are on the same pier at YVR), but seeing as I'll have checked baggage including a bike bag, I am concerned about my baggage making it on the flight. As mentioned on the other thread, I'll be flying business class if that makes a difference (I would assume it'll only really make a difference for me making the flight, and not my baggage).

The 47 minute transfer time just makes it above AC's stated minimum connection time of 40 minutes for YVR (https://www.aircanada.com/ca/en/aco/...ion-times.html), but given my checked baggage situation I'm wondering how realistic this is.

Anyone here have much experience with domestic transfers at YVR and checked baggage? Is this a disaster waiting to happen?
