SFO-YUL: Longest AC's Transborder flight?
Just on this beast now … Is this the longest AC Transborder flight? Longer perhaps than the longest AC domestic flight?
Thoughts? |
YYZ-HNL would be longer. |

Indeed - right on both accounts.
|
And as I have this flight (SFO-YUL) booked in the future in Business, what is the chance they will Rouge a flight of this length? I am most concerned because the flight is currently booked on a 737 Max 8...hopefully they will be back before our flight next May.

However, these are not regular operations, so who knows. Regardless, you're about 8-9 months early to even begin worrying. |

Not impossible, but the 3 dailies are all 320s right now. Under regular operations, duration has no bearing on whether something is rouge or mainline. It's about the route. And SFO-YUL is PLH, meaning it will not go rouge.
There was a time when they ran 762s. And J was only marginally more than Y if no Sat. night stay. :-) |

I monitor things all the time, therefore I worry. And "Rouging" is not an attractive thing for AC.

PLH - Premium Long Haul. Usually NA routes that have aircraft with lie flat seats in business on a regular basis, however anyone correct me if I got that definition wrong Wide bodies are assigned to routes that need the capacity. PLH routes are high yield for the airline, and receive enhanced catering. When you put a wide body on a PLH route, there's an added surcharge, and it's sold as Signature Class. |

That has nothing to do with the PLH definition.

out of curiosity i looked up the longest transborder flight from YVR and YVR-BOS is juuuuuuust a tiny bit shorter than SFO-YUL. 25mi.

YVR-MCO pops up now and again, seasonal, 763, 2629 mi. vs. 2259mi. |
