Flex would net 9879 SQM or Comfort 11,361. Not the very best CPM but would certainly make for an interesting long weekend adventure if you don’t want to cross the border.
Interesting. How long would it take to fly that, with how terrible connections are these days? And how did you build that out, Matrix? Google Flights? I'm wondering whether dropping YEG, YUL, and YYR might make it much more efficient at the cost of relatively few miles. If you're segment running, those are great, but YEG adds only about 100 miles (before any CoS) and YUL ~15 miles. YYR should be a little over 500 miles each way, which is a decent chunk of miles, but how much time does it chew up? Then again, it may add those ~1,000 miles at very low cpm over stopping at YYT.
