AC to add daily direct Yellowknife-Vancouver flights in December

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/...ghts-1.4222262

Direct flights between Yellowknife and Vancouver will soon be returning to Air Canada.

The airline made the announcement in a news release Wednesday morning, saying it will begin offering daily direct flights from Dec. 15, 2017 to April 1, 2018, starting at $219 one way.

The airline previously offered the popular route before cancelling it in the summer of 2011. At the time, tourism industry representatives said they believed the cancellation would reduce the number of tourists in Yellowknife.

Maybe they should cancel the YYC-YZF flight per:

Looks like it is on a CRJ and business class will be an option to YZF:

Oh, I'm jealous! As someone who frequently flies between AB and YZF, I have grown to loathe the fact that the RJs were replaced by the DH4s on these routes.

If it's business it's got to be a CRA.

How about adding a DH4 for a YYC-YXY?

Yet more international connecting traffic funneled away from YYC.

But, it's not as much fun as flying there from YEG.

The comfy confines of the DH4 clearly provide a more intimate experience. Just not the same on a jet.
