It's nice to see AC putting some effort in its J class product. I wonder where the incentive to do so came from... Do they know something we don't (more Emirates flights coming soon)? Or maybe they are simply trying to fight Emirates and the likes and this is mostly aimed at convincing more US pax to go the AC way and transit through Canada.

New YYZ lounge: I understand the exclusion of upgraded passengers and guests, so Rev-tied, but I do hope that when AC launches its own loyalty program, it offers its SE100K some access, one way or another... In the meantime, I'm looking forward to enjoying the new lounge at YYZ when I next fly REV J, and getting the BMW transfer service.

Also, all this hype is coming a little late, but might still help the new direct YUL - NRT get some paying J class pax... The timing of the launch (June 1st) makes for poor J sales, I believe.
