Good Luck!
Good point! I have a flight booked this September which I got for 4600. And both legs on Polaris are not yet at 50% capacity. They are offering discounted economy on those flights. But only one economy type for December.

Even with Jazz service between SEA and YVR, I'd take that in a heartbeat -- or, if you prefer to deal with the Peace Arch rather than Sea-Tac and traffic on I-5 or I-405, that's an option too. I certainly wouldn't pay $3000 extra, of my own money, to fly UA.
Now the cheapest I could find is $6k! I supposed I don't mind AC if it were a UA ticket. In case I had to rebook. (I don't believe AC allows cancelation without penalty - refund to FFC?) And also to use my existing FFC.
