Any recommendations on a couple specific routes that are representative of the AC network?

Also ZRH YYZ, and I think there’s a MUC YYZ as I’ve flown the other way. Probably also CDG, CFH, and FCO as well into YYZ, YUL or even YVR at a push.

If you compile the numbers, its going to be a bad comparison to overall average.

AC1662 has been consistently delayed the past week. 3-4 out of 7 flights were delayed, terrible performance. Avg 60% of flights were delayed this year!
also, the airplane was filthy as usual with these Rogue 767s. No way they even organized the airplanes as the outbound was already late but that’s for the dirty aircraft thread.
dont know what’s worse... flying brand new Allegiant A320 with no recline and little legroom or old dirty AC 767 with some legroom.

If time is not of the essence, multiple US carriers offer easy 1-stop service: you exchange 90-minutes of your day for an extra $50ish in your wallet.

Of course if AC arrived onto the tarmac on time perhaps the airport would have a gate waiting. But I don’t know much about airport operations so I’m sure someone will be along to beat me over that soon.

On today’s flight;
Captain: “please take your seats as we will be having an early departure and early arrival”
then
Captain: “we seem to have a baggage hold issue”
and then
Captain: “unfortunately we are delayed due to maintenance, and will be delayed arriving”
So much for trying to improve OTP...

Sigh ... and the streak continues. ACr 1659 ... only 1:40 late today. Last time it was more than two hours behind schedule so I guess that's some sort of improvement.

First. Time. Ever.
My AC 8 seems to have been pushed across the Pacific. Arrived almost 1 hour early.
My transcon cnx landed early as well but this was impressive.
Who can we blame?
