When are you planning to travel? A bit more specifics and we might be able to help you. For example, while YYC is undergoing runway upgrading later this month, AC will be shifting their daily FRA flight through YEG. Otherwise, you will have to hop into YYC, YUL or YYZ to connect onto a nonstop to FRA.

LH also has a daily FRA-YVR that will connect to an AC YVR-YEG. The flight leaves about the same time as the AC FRA-YYC which also has good connection times to YYC-YEG. YYC-YEG is operated by the mainline AC or its regional affiliate Jazz Air.
AC is about to launch another airline to replace its YVR-YEG run. This airline is to be called ZIP Air and will only offer a "no frills" Ryanair type service. AC does claim to offer FFP for this service. Zip Air will launch in late September.

As Henry Ford used to say, you can have any car in any colour as long as the car was a Model T and the colour was black. Then Steve Jobs came along and gave us computers in all sorts of colours. Now AC comes up with the idea of different airlines for different types of travellers. It's called innovation...

Hey, I'm all for innovation and marketing. But, I still have trouble explaining AC/Zip/Jazz/Tango/Jetz to the receptionist at work, and she is a former C3 FA.
I guess this is where the marketing gurus tell accountants to think out side the box??
I have been hearing that term used a lot lately at work. Yes, I am an accountant.
