it isn’t just ethics it’s legality too. Since the OP didn’t even mention HCT in passing it would seem reasonable to me that they are not aware of it. Any other assumption is just that. I also can’t account for any confusion on your part. And no admonishment just surprise. I have made my point and I’m out of any further discussion. You are clearly trying to take something personally here and I have no interest in that.

Wouldnt this easily be solved by booking the US connection the next day?
Yes, its $40 more than on the same day, but still $85 less than YUL-YVR alone
Zero issues
Schedule change? ummm - i need to be in YVR for 24 hours - so yeah - rebook me via YVR
Check in - just domestic today, thanks
Last couple times I've done this - they either cancelled or delayed the US-bound flight the next day .... and as a bonus got a partial refund.
And discussing ethics or legality when it comes to dealing with AC? Really? Check the refunds thread. How many millions of $ has AC stolen from Canadians?

OP didn’t ask whether it is a good idea or not; just whether it is possible or not.
Confused why there is an expectation that this forum is suppose to provide an assessment on whether it is a good idea or not especially when that was never the question in initial post nor any subsequent post by OP.

As writerguyfl stated, you cannot dictate what others post. If someone feels it's appropriate to mention HCT or anything else they feel is relevant to the situation, there is nothing to stop them from doing so.

It is bizarre to me that somebody is willing to violate the terms of carriage and the best this forum can muster is CC’s response that this probably isn’t a good idea during Covid. Lets be clear: it is never a good idea. And it could get the OP banned from AC. Could. Not will. Could.
If ridefar’s intent was merely to add HCT to the discussion, he/she would have accomplished that with just the bolded section of the post. I have no qualms about it; it does add to the discussion and I agree with what HCT brings except for the parts about illegal and “never” good idea.
My reply to ridefar was essentially asking why go thru the effort of typing “and the best this forum can muster is CC’s response?”
Since ridefar indicated that he/she is no longer participating in this thread, we may never know what drove ridefar to add the italicized portion.
Since you seem to disagree with my prior posts asking ridefar for a clarification, perhaps you would share your thoughts on why ridefar added the italicized portion given that the bolded part itself would have already added HCT to the thread?
