If flying from BOD to YUL and wishing to connect onwards to or from YVR & YYC, can one buy a Prem Econ fare that offers seating in the PY cabin? There are 737Max and/or widebody aircraft with PY seats that ply these routes, including a seemingly ideal AC 815/305 connection using the same aircraft type, but a prospective buyer is unable to avoid the Mixed Class option and is stuffed into economy on the not-unsubstantial domestic portion of the journey. Can the airline not offer a fare that seats the buyer in a PY seat on both legs of a route flown by planes with PY seats inside 'em?

Thank you. Naturally, there is no widebody service between YUL & YYC, and the widebody departures to & from YVR necessitate excessive connection times (ie: overnight or min 6 hours) in Montreal - or a bleak transit through YYZ. This new service offers no improvement to my Dad's current travel, so I think I'll suggest he stay with his existing range of itineraries.

After deleting a few posts let's please focus this discussion on the thread topic at hand and leave the matter of award surcharges or the future look of an AC-owned AP for other threads.
