Any chance of YVR-HKG going back to 2am departure?
Just wondering if anyone had heard anything or had anything more than a guess from a hat about the YVR-HKG flight and if there's any chance it will be going back to the late night departure this summer?
It's not in the sked now however it was great for allowing people from afar to get into YVR throughout the day and make the flight. I was hoping if it had gone well then perhaps it owuld be back this year. With all the HKG sales it seems like they are working hard to fill the planes up.

Please No
I live just across from the airport. Please, no late night flights. When they use the north runway for takeoffs in the summer, it sounds like a jet is coming into my bedroom. So, please no late night flights on the north runway. The past 2 summers it has been bad, supposedly because they are "fixing" the south runway. Also, when the winds are in a certain pattern, they need to take off in such a way that it is very noisy. So, please no (whoever is listening in the AC hierarchy).

My question is why CX can fly 3X daily YVR-HKG (well, 2 flights ares circle flights via JFK) and AC cannot even fill one daily YYZ-YVR-HKG flight. Something wrong with their marketing and sales. AC was not even daily certain time of the year.
I like the midnight flight out of YVR for easy connection at HKG.

Before AC, I have been on a CP YVR-HKG B747 with all YVR based Chinese FAs.

The midnight flight out was great while it lasted. As we usually go to HKG for weekends. Departing at night would allow us to get to HKG a lot sooner.

I just wish all these sales actually significantly changed the price
