Now that Canada has announced vaccinated US citizens can enter as of Aug 9th, does anyone have a feel for if/when AA will load more flights onto the schedule? If they've done so already, I'm not seeing much in the way of increased frequency.

Same - I'm hopeful we see an uptick in frequencies soon.

Prices to YYC are sky high in Sep - wonder if AA will wait til after 9 Aug to see if the new opening to US Citizens sticks?

It will be better when the US opens open to travel from Canada, and of course, there is still that test requirement when coming back to the US. That has turned off quite a few travelers

Isn't there also a PCR test requirement to get into Canada? That is more difficult than the antigen test needed to return.

Agreed. And Canadians have been able to fly to the US throughout the pandemic - the restrictions were only for land crossings which isn't relevant to flight schedules. The barrier has been the quarantine requirements on the return, and this is a huge improvement.

AA has been totally zero'd out on many days for their lone two AA Connection YYC flights lately, and I'm cursing having several tickets booked on AA because it's so difficult to make any date changes, even for full flex tickets. With Alaska discontinuing YYC service altogether, AA is just a bad option for YYC right now. At least with DL and UA, they will rebook onto WS or AC codeshares respectively with major sked changes or for voluntary changes.

YYC-DFW has been full in J for weeks, sometimes a month + out on the E75. Y almost always leaves full too, but J fills up completely even before Y 20% full. They downgauged J seats to 319 starting November and it's selling out even further out. My flights end of November are all J0!!! On both the daily departures(7am/1230pm). Making it impossible to make changes with J tickets, it's been really rough. NO flexibility even on full fare. I'm experiencing SamuelS's pain this fall.

Oil execs/consultants are still shuttling back and forth, all paid J. Mainly business types. It's pretty much impossible to clear any free upgrade from YYC nowadays. I still haven't had a chance to buy an economy ticket out of here on AA fml. Any other Canadian based AA flyers that can share experience from their homebase?

Missed F by one DFW/YVR on a 319 Monday, still "requested" for YVR/DFW on Saturday. Another 319. I prefer Airbii over Boeing in general for narrow-body but I'll make an exception for this 2x4F thang.

AA restored NYC YUL and operating with 175 which is way better than the 135/145 they had before. I used to take AC just to avoid gate check. Surprisingly DL has not restored NYC-YUL.
