Was having a discussion with colleagues about potential new destinations. Came up with the following potential places.

YUL-BEY
YVR-AKL
YVR-SIN
YUL-NRT
YYZ to somewhere in Africa


Any ideas on if any of these could actually work?

When I started this thread in Oct 2016, my OP was:



The intent was to keep this thread for AC & Rouge Routes as posted by AC press releases or Routesonline etc


I would suggest that discussion, wishes and speculation about new routes for AC be in a separate thread.

There were these old ones. Maybe the mods can merge / update etc.

Ugh where is the YYC-NRT 767 Replaced to 787?! lol

Wpgjetse

This route could be the last to change aircraft. When does AC retire their 767? The last bus out could be YYC-NRT.

YVRtoYYZ

Nice to see. The B787 PY and J product is superior to the A330.

smallmj

But the A330 has much roomier Y.

Diabeetus

Thanks for the route updates 24L!

I have an upcoming YUL-GVA flight. Too bad it's still on the A330 (would have preferred a B788/9 given that I'll be in J).

Wasn't sure between this and the other main Rouge thread, but how can one determine what dates Rouge flies? Like I know YYZ/LGW is Route and runs the summer early; is it possible to determine (without mass checking) the first/last date?

Also, what happens to these planes out of season. Presumably they fly elsewhere? HAV or something one assumes.
