Depends upon the time of the year. Random date of 10-17 july (midweek so cheaper) is $5,042 on AC. I don't know about other people, but that is an expensive adventure for me. I have to earn excess of $10,000 pretax . For a great many Canadians, that's the difference between having a roof over their head(s) with some beans on the grill, or sleeping on a cardboard box over a TTC air vent.

I am not an airline geek, and I certainly know the difference between AC's AB320 J seat vs its B787 seat. I also know that TAP doesn't offer lie flats on my routes and that many J flights in EU are in Y with a seat blocked. I even know that some airlines love their seat fees in J (hello miserable Swissair).

Your glowing view of MU is yours alone. You would be hard pressed to find many people who have flown on both, who share that sentiment , particularly those who are non smokers and do not appreciate the cigarette smoke that often floats back, or who like a decent alcoholic beverage. The catering on my MU flights was awful.

However, this isn't about how you value the flights, because AC has already established the value of the fares when it published them. Rather, the only issue that matters is whether or not the woman benefited from a criminal act. The criminal act was credit card fraud.

I believe that there is also another issue at play. In the event that the woman is pursued for a criminal act, she could very well lose her status in Canada. Although Canada rarely deports non Canadian criminals and has minimal immigration law enforcement, there are some cases where the government of Canada has acted to non renew a visa or to block a citizenship application due to a person's "alleged" criminal activity.
