AC101 for 7am tmr just got cancelled. That's what I get for booking the redemption as two 1ways. Now what...
Edit: And now it's saying we're checked-in for AC2101 that leaves at the same time. Cowtool and AC pulls an error. So that's interesting. But the app pulls up bording passes.

Air Mauritius on Aeroplan reward
Hi. So, I'm booked Paris-Mauritius (CDG-MRU) June 3 with Air Mauritius on the A350 on an Aeroplan reward points ticket in J class. Air Mauritius has been having aircraft issues and cancelling flights, and getting wet and dry leases. If they cancel my June flight, what normally happens, or should happen, to passengers on reward bookings on that flight? Thanks.

yes, but every single one of them has been cancelled over the past 5 days, tho I see today's flight has departed. How does AE normally treat a schedule change?

Normally they will accommodate you on any AC flight which won't help into Mauritius, or on available Aeroplan reward space, which would be equally tough. I had a reward flight out of Mauritius cancelled on me last year and Aeroplan could not book any workaround so I had to completely redo my itinerary and hit other countries instead. Obviously, most people don't have that flexibility.

Yesterday was booked IAH-YUL-YYZ in J. Flight 581/582 was initially delayed then got a morning message that it was cancelled and I'd be rebooked within 30 minutes. I know better than believe that, so called in and got rebooked IAH-DFW-YYZ and it looks like the AC braintrust was going to rebook me in Y on 582 the next day without an onward to YYZ.

741 YYZ-SFO pushed at T-7. FlightAware says T-10, but I'm using our actual "push" time. So objectively early.
We also started boarding right on time, which was annoying because I hadn't even sat down in the MLL.
Probably helped that Y is only booked to like 50%.

AC7921 - Odds of delay on Eclipse Day
My eclipse plan was to head to Fort Erie for totality, but that is starting to look iffy.
I grabbed one of the early morning flights from Toronto to Fredericton to get down there; I can work at the airport and then head outside.
The return flight is AC7921 ... departure of 445pm .... right at totality.
The flight seems to mostly operate on time. Highly unlikely that the pilot would do a flight delay, right?
I'd throw away that Aeroplan return (via Montreal) and have seats on the 12pm not stop to YYZ the next day....
Does anyone have any thoughts? Is it a pipe dream that a pilot would see fit to do a delay?

As nice as it would be for the pilot to wait for the eclipse to pass, I fully suspect they would depart when the plane is ready, regardless of the position of the moon and sun at the time.
Pearson usually has ATC flow restrictions at that time of day, so it could be a major delay if they don't depart when their slot is open.

Unless the delayed is posted well in advance, you may still need to be sitting on the aircraft or waiting near the gate around the scheduled departure time.
I know this isn't what you are originally asking for, but other than YFC, there are quite a few places along the eclipse belt with favourable weather forecast, and are just a short drive from GTA, such as the north shore of Lake Erie, and Brockville/Cornwall area. Montreal and Eastern Townships in Quebec are also forecasted to have sunny weather.

AC app says Fin803 was going to operate AC107 today, but cancelled due to an unexpected maintenance issue with your aircraft.
Obviously (sarcasm) not within the airline's control. And AC would never stretch the truth to try to avoid APPR claims.
oh, wait.. never mind the fact that instead of your 10AM departure, the same airplane took off at 8:43AM to operate AC966 YYZ to Bridgetown, Barbados. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/CGHPU

This flight, AC 107, continues to be cancelled today and tomorrow.
I haven't received yet any schedule update for my booking which is10 days from today.
Anybody able to explain or guess what's happening behind the scenes, and what I should be expecting regarding my travel? THANKS.
