Glad I checked this thread, was going to post as a new thread, but you beat me to it (maybe it deserves its own thread anyway).

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he expects the new restrictive measures on non-essential travel at the border to take effect Friday night, but cautioned that both sides are still fine-tuning the agreement.

TIMATIC reports no restrictions transiting Canada. Restrictions is only for entry. This is something Cathay imposing beyond Canadian requirements.

“Non-essential” travel includes travel that is considered tourism or recreational in nature.

Non-Essential Travel Ban Only Applies To Land Crossings?
Do the new non-essential travel restrictions between Canada / US apply to air traffic? I read a Canadian article just now that said it only applies to land crossing and that flights would not be affected. I am an American looking to go north for a few days

Technically, as of right now, a US citizen who has not been outside of the US for the past 14 days is allowed to board a flight to Canada if they show now symptoms of Covid-19. Upon arrival in Canada, they will be asked to self-isolate for 14 days.
This being said, all non-essential cross-border travel is discouraged.
So the question is - why would you want to go? Not to mention that you may not be able to return home...

So unless OP then contemplates finding his way to a land border, and hoping that Canada would still let US citizens cross its side of said border...

I think the point being made is that there will likely be a severe reduction in ways to travel back to the US as flights are cancelled.

Didn't check other airlines, but ....
AC has cancelled DFW-YVR/YYZ, for now selling UA metal flights.
UA has zeroed out Y and only sells FC on USA-CDN, but I have not checked for a few hours. As I understand it, it is their way of CXing flights during weekend update. I pretty much expect UA USA-CDN flights to be pretty much gone by Monday
But that one way DFW-YYZ (on UA metal with a stop) is crazy low at $89 US
