With the way flights have been reduced, never underestimate the chance that an East coast winner could need to route via YVR to get to YUL . Or West coast winner may need to connect in YUL/YYZ on the way to YVR.
The $5800 estimated retail value of each prize includes economy cabin seating, and blackout dates. AC certainly spared no expense.
