And I'm not sure if anyone really exists that meets both my requirements.
So I'm curious what others are doing.
During Covid i'm pretty much just flying YYC-YVR, YYC-YYZ, YYC-YWG for work. I usually will LMU the YVR and YWG flights unless the advance price is worthwhile to book a Z fare. I usually book Y for YYC-YYZ and upgrade to Y+ on the bigger birds as it's not much of a price premium, or pull the red eyes as they haven't been anywhere near close to full.
Outside of Covid I would be doing far more hops outside of the country but can't justify the quarantine right now.
I'm sure you're not going to find too many who can make much good use right now unless they are flying quite a bit domestically.
