Flying in eastern Canada...really expensive
I'm guessing this is the result of the near monopoly of Air Canada, but wow it's expensive to fly in eastern Canada. I can get from my hometown to Asia or Europe for cheaper. Also, I'm not sure why exactly flying from St. John's to Moncton or Halifax should cost $500. The joy of no competition I guess.

Nextime, I'm flying TPA-YYZ, I prefer connecting in DTW or EWR than going nonstop. Hopefully, I won't have to wait for my bag to arrive 45-60 minutes at YYZ. Last time AC did that to me, it took about an hour and a half to get our bags out. That day was a mess, and everyone was angry at AC. YYZ is a failure in my opinion.

Not always the case, sometimes I feel like WS is working side to side with AC or ripping people off. most of the time, their fare is within $50 less than AC. They drove Jetsgo out of business, and now both have a monopoly over the market.

If not for the limited offering of direct flights to Asia, I would avoid AC completely.
