Little FQ flew ACr departing YYZ the other day. Boarded and pushed back on time, spent something like 40 minutes "taxiing", but I was able to meet her at her destination pretty much on time. It was a late evening departure. I have an inbound YYZ evening arrival in a few days, and don't expect the same 
While others can reroute, originating/departing YYZ is what it is if you don't have the time for YUL-YTZ leg.

I wish UA would do the same. I am booked on a late afternoon/early evening UA ticket IAD-YYZ-YQB next week but they won't allow me to change a thing, probably until the IAD flight has been delayed by several hours and then cancelled as it has been in the last three days.

As runway construction theoretically ends May 16 the May 17th return needed to be checked but was OK'd.
Was then invited to apply for a refund for the YXU/YYZ and YYZ/YXU segments...
Within no more than 24 hrs of original departure date/time or anytime afterwards I am to complete the refund page at

So if a passenger is transiting YYZ from Europe to US and arrival at their final destination is delayed by this runway construction (8hrs+) are they entitled to EU 261 compensation?
AC is both the overwater and transborder carrier.
Cheers

No. First, assuming the inbound flight to YYZ was on time, the delay would have occurred outside the EU and therefore isn't covered. Second, it would likely be deemed an extraordinary delay in any event (and not unreasonably, there really is very little the airlines can do here).

Just arrived into YYZ on AC699. Last few days it's been delayed circling etc. Today, plane left YYT on-time, no one mentioned delays (it is disgusting in YYZ right now) and we went straight in. Feeling lucky.

Assuming the already crappy weather today and tomorrow, I hope runway construction will not be added to the mess tomorrow. I am on a United ticket on AC metal tomorrow with a onward connection on US west coast. United does not have any advisories for Toronto so no chance to be proactive. Not sure when AC will post whether/if their flight will be delayed for tomorrow afternoon YYZ-LAX.

Also with a little digging around, and gate info, I see that tonight's 126 from YVR will arrive at D24 and become 183 tomorrow morning, which is showing as departing from D24.
Nothing is perfect and there could be last minute swaps, but some of the info is out there. Either that or I need a new hobby.

Welcome to the Air Canada Hotel
Pax sleeping everywhere. AC's Aisle 1 has some on the floor and all of the sofas are full of people sleeping. Luggage and blankets and so on. A lot of them are in summer clothes.
In the terminal just outside Aisle 1 are even more, on the chairs, on the floor.
I feel really bad for them.
