All these things are insignificant details compared with the big castration that occurred with the last revision of AC.com.

Used to be that you could use the site (and Destina) as an access to global reservation systems. Now you only have access to AC-operated flights and codeshares.

Which is a more severe limitation that one might think. I just was looking at fares from other European destinations through LHR vs. FRA. Difference in tax is about CAD 130, more expensive for the privilege of connecting through the LHR mess. Whenever AC has a code-share from LHR but not on say LH flights from FRA to the same destiantion, that's what you get from their site: the CAD130 LHR extra cash grab, courtesy of AC.
