I flew last Wednesday the 18th. Decided to return home to YHZ from school in Ontario. At that point flight loads out of Pearson were relatively high with people returning home from vacation. Looking at the loads I decided to fly YXU-YOW-YHZ to avoid crowds. The DH83 from YXU-YOW had 3 pax including myself. YOW-YHZ had 11 of us. London was fairly quiet, although WS had a fairly high load on their Q400 to YYZ. The GA at YXU came up to me in the boarding area and asked if she needed to call Zone 2 just for me

. Ottawa was pretty much empty, although I don't know the regular crowds there at 8am on a Wednesday morning. We took a short delay leaving the gate in YOW, as the FA requested that hand sanitizer, masks, and gloves be brought to the plane. I heard her say to the ground staff that if anyone starts coughing during the flight they get a mask. AC seemed to be doing a good job with keeping the planes clean, both aircraft looked and smelled like they'd been wiped down. I took these flights about a day before AC announced their reduction in onboard service, so full drink and snack service was offered on these Jazz flights.
