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?

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.
