YVR-YUL with wifi?
 

Not too sure where to post this. I need to get to YUL on such a weekday when it's really unfortunate to be off for a full day. Is there a way to get on wifi flights? Connect through LAX or what?

Going to have to book two one ways though to connect in LA.

You could also try it via MSP on DL. Again, you'd need two tickets, as a single-ticket YVR->MSP->YUL routing on Delta isn't permitted.

Delta.com's booking system shows if the flight has WiFi or not.

Yes I have raised the idea of flying Alaska down to LAX and then AC to YUL but that's just plain miserable :(

Nonstop MSP-YUL wifi is on these weird "Delta Connection" various airlines with no wifi. Delta itself, it seems, does not fly into Montreal.

Yeah... Good point. Guess you have three options -

1) Miserable routing
2) A redeye so you don't miss a day off work
3) Pretend you're flying a decade ago and just download what you need to work onto your laptop
4) Pick a routing with a layover and synch your laptop when you're on the ground

Personally, the added time of a connection with the risk of missing a connection just doesn't make getting "online" a valid proposition.

Too many risk factors.
