They are unlikely to add flights but I would expect a schedule change this far out. It may end up in your favour it may make things worse.

November is a long way out, chances are your arrangements will change one or more times again between now and then. Wait till you get closer in before doing anything, or worrying about it. Everything is still pretty dynamic these days.

Others have already commented on the rest of your post, but if you do end up with those longer layovers, if you'd like ideas on things to do in Montreal, please consult the Canada forum. In fact, there's a recent thread from someone else looking for suggestions on what to do with a long YUL layover.

Finally some definitive news on YVR-KIX but looks like we were a year off. The service is set to return in summer of 2023.

We are flying BOS to MXP and chose AC as their PE fares were cheap. Our trip is in Nov. Flight times have changed many times but they then changed our dates which greatly impact our trip. We moved things around but now have 4 and 3 hour layovers in YUL. Do you think they might add BOS flights before Nov.? I'd almost rather drive home vs sit and wait. Anything fun to do in YUL. Might get a massage

Grrrrr I had 3 of us booked (Aeroplan) on December 20th and they just cancelled it. Did this happen to anyone else over the holidays? Wondering if they bumped us out because of a genuine cancellation or if they want to oversell paid seats?

Hard to speculate without knowing what route you are referencing for the cancellation.

Unless they are no longer serving the route, they must have rebooked you on alternate flights.

I had posted into the thread about YYZ-HNL direct but I guess it was merged and that context was lost. Oddly this direct flight seems to be operating the week before, but then they cancelled it on the pre-Xmas run that was fully sold out in J? (My relatives were in paid J)

Hey guys,
my sister is on AC326 YYC-YUL as she's moving to montreal this july, and it's a 77L red eye.
Something very weird happened to the flight. It was completely empty but now it is 0 everything, and not even showing up on AC.com to be able to purchase. I don't think it's sold out as the seat map shows no seats assigned, same as it was like last week. Any info on this?

Based on that expert flyer is showing AC324 and AC326 are showing Zero seats on multiple days. The flights are probably being canceled or changing to new airplane. Canceled is the best guess.
I am seeing many schedule reductions to deal with lack of crews and planes being repositioned to longer international flights.

What happened to the YYZ-CVG direct flights?
I have a booking for YYZ-CVG return flights for the week of July 4. But when trying to book similar flights for the following weeks, they do not exist anymore? Did AC just cancel the route?
