schedule question, where does the plane go after AMS?
Have been planning a trip YYZ-AMS in early November. AC direct flights leave YYZ on Wed, Fri, Sun, so far so good. But no direct return flights from AMS back to YYZ??
How do I find out where that 333 goes after dropping off pax in AMS? just curious... why wouldn't AC turn that plane around and bring pax back?

You do realize that when flying Trans-Atlantic, the aircraft always arrives the day after departure; so the return flight - although 2 or 3 hours after arrival - is dated the following day.

Every AC TATL just does a turn. I mean sometimes at larger stations the turn is back to a different city in Canada (inbound from YYZ goes back to YUL) and the YYZ to LHR day-tripper parks overnight at LHR and does the early morning LHR-YYZ the next day. But in all cases they're coming right back.

well I feel foolish, even though I knew about the next day thing, I guess I didn't check the right dates...
however my silly mistake led me to check the schedule and that seems to be wrong...
I was looking to fly YYZ to AMS on Sunday Nov 10 and return on Friday Nov 15th (of course the flight would be on Saturday not Friday)
Anyway I am not clever enough to paste a screen shot of the schedule but it seems to be wrong.

Where are you looking at the schedule?

Looking at the Air Canada Flight Schedule, here: https://services.aircanada.com/porta...ABC975DFD72085
AC only flies to AMS on Wed, Fri, and Sun, and we would expect a return back to YYZ on Thurs, Sat, and Mon, The pdf flight schedule does not show the Monday flight, however the booking engine and google flights are showing the flights correctly.
As for the OP's expectation of a Friday return, there would be none since there is no Thursday flight to AMS.

1 hour and 55 minutes on the ground and poof! Back to YYZ.
Would have thought with the demise of Jet Airways the schedule would have increased during W20. Flights were upgauged to the 77W through the Summer/Fall and were packed to the rafters.

This is an understatement. Not sure how there can be two flights with the same flight number, departing on the same day, within 5 min from each other.
AMS is relatively simple as there is only the YYZ flight. LHR is the most complicated one.
