Unfortunately, AC only has one J itinerary available for my date, which has 2 stops instead of 1, so is worse than what I have right now. But I'll keep tracking if anything becomes available. All things considered, my updated itinerary isn't terrible, but I'd much rather have my original direct flight. I understand that that's likely not going to happen though.
