Perhaps I missed the memo here about AC launching nonstop service between YYZ and AUH. Last time I flew AC to those neck of the woods, the only available option was DXB which arriving at 8 PM local time makes it a royal pain in the ... to get to AUH. The options to AUH are limited on *A partners: you could fly MS and deal with the gong show that is CAI, or LH to FRA which is a similar gong show. Don't even get me started on premium cabins: LH service from YYZ to FRA in J is probably one of the worst J experiences I've had on any *A carrier (like seriously who shares a seat with someone else in J?). The only redeeming quality to that flight is that it's on a 747. Meanwhile EK and EY offer premium cabins that are miles ahead of anything from the likes of AC.
