AC says this in their press release:
"The new Vancouver-Zurich flights will connect to and from destinations in Europe, Africa and India with Star Alliance partner Swiss International Air Lines."
Hopefully they do a better job of offering code shares/connections on LX than is currently the case for flgihts from YYZ - seems that AC prefers to flow people through FRA and connect on LH than the lower-cost (due to high German airport fees) and better service Zurich option.

Glad to see YVR getting long overdue and much needed expanded Europe service. ZRH/CDG logical choices. Local staff/catering/cargo already in place expanding on existing services. ^

I'm gonna like the direct YVR-CDG-YVR, do it several times a year via YYZ..
AF does it now twice a week but only use it when I've reached my 100K status...LOL!

I am amazed at the capacity increase to Australia over the years.
I do hope they firm up the agreement with Virgin for some reciprocal domestic recognition.

Last week, the reshuffling of NRT flights to YUL was a big announcement press event.
This week, YVR's additions are, IMHO, more substantial, and to much less fanfare.
Hopefully the YVR-CDG and YVR-ZRH aren't "direct" versions of YVR-YUL-CDG and YVR-YYZ-ZRH (like YYZ-YVR-SYD and YYZ-YUL-GVA).
