Of course we are amateurs. I am sure the professionals of the aviation industry maintain their own fora with higher levels of rationalisation.
For what it's worth, I would find an LH Direct to PTY flight quite charming, as well.

Maybe time to kill it...

That's my point. And as always: No offense. Just discussion.

I propose a ACH - CVG, as nobody serves this route so far.
Best equipment would be a 747-400 with the upper deck F class^
Oh, we need to build a runway into the lake of constance, should be doable if we dump all the nonsense of this thread there.

The LH flight was cancelled as demand was lower than originally projected. Personally I think the AC flight stayed a lot more popular at the time as there were many people from the oil fields who were allowed to fly on high Y fare tickets which they could upgrade quite easily with their Air Canada (paper) vouchers at the time and could not upgrade at all on LH. This tended to leave a lot of the higher fare (economy anyway) business with AC and LH had loads in the summer when fares were much more price sensitive.
Besides- now they would have to compete with Air Berlin which would be tough for LH

I personally hope and see the chance of FRA-YYC returning once LH have the appropriate aircraft for that route, not the gas guzzler A343 they used to fly there...

For example, some of the feeder LH flights are only available with higher fare classes when combined with AC/UA across the pond, and widely available with LH longhaul.
