The transcon is on an AA 737 as going via LAX was £££ extra. Hoping for a schedule change so I can tweak to go via LAX. TATL is on BA747 UD on the way out and AA773 on the way home for a nice back to back comparison.

Anything resembling a pleasant way to travel YVR-YYZ was nearing £1000 one-way; economy was £260 inc. bags.
very little chance of plus being available at check in on WestJet because they now have a reduced plus fare non flexible and I have rarely found a seat especially on that route available at check in.
Best of luck though it makes for a survivable way to get to YVR
