Congrats!
i will add the following, you flew Sunday morning.
Don't try this on most weekday afternoons YVR-YYZ for eg.
I am always connecting from TPAC to these flights 118,120,124,126 (red-eye).
There is always an endless number of people waiting to clear at the gate and it's not pretty when the announcement is made that J is now full.
Heading west in the mornings, I'm on 101 or 183, less so, 103. 101 and 183 often have spots open. (There is sometimes a nice assortment of dead-heading pilots to keep me company
. ) 103 is the 77 HD with only 28 J. Also, it's now into Fall and 183 is out of the rotation, so even if less busy season, there is one less early morning wide-body. Just my observations.
