That's the cheapest one-way paid itinerary. Two of those three flights have J cabins.

Narrow bodies over the Atlantic - that sounds like fun.

Agree that it is no fun, but LHR-YHZ or YYT is pretty much like flying from YVR-YYZ or vice versa. Having the pod is nice, but it is definitely not the end of the world to not have one given the flight durations.

I should note that while the cabin is the same, LHR-YYZ is technically marketed as PY, not J.

As someone who regularly does YYZ/YUL-SFO on narrow-bodies due to schedule (like I want to do something really badly and can't get the wide-body because it leaves/arrives too early/late), I agree.

I guess 8120 is zeroed out in a bunch of lower fare classes, eh?

Since it's The Rock, I will be sending Sean Connery in my place.

Someone please buy him a martini. Or a Vespa. Just don't call him Irish.

You could just eat it in your bathtub the night before.

Perhaps the codfather could lead you all on a nice brisk run the morning after the Do.

This is a Do he won't be able to duck out of early though!

There will be no ducking out early occurring at this one! I will have to take a nap at some point in the day to ensure it doesn't happen!
