I was wanting to take an alaskan cruise from YVR-Seward. I tried ac.com last week and they said they had no flights. At least now I might entertain the idea.

You may modify your search criteria by selecting another airport if your departure or arrival city offers more than one option (e.g. New York, La Guardia and New York, Newark). (9200 - 10901)
I was searching from yHZ on dates in June. Tried three different dates.

Who makes these decisions? Who travels on this route??? Why don't they invest in a viable route such as one in Asia???
I mean they could not handle, DEL but they want to fly to Haneda and Geneva????

I also doubt that an E-190 can make it from YVR to Asia... might make it partway, but would be an ugly landing.
Maybe they could use an E-jet on the new rights to Haneda, or to re-open Nagoya!

The DEL route was unprofitable.

Yeah, it's seasonal as I can't imagine as many folks wanting to fly north between Oct-May when ANC is colder than YWG.

I've also flown to ANC on AC which was a better option than UA that flew south in the dead of night. A couple of summers ago, AC used a 319 and they flight was chock-a-block full with tourists from Asia.
