Direct AC Flight Not Available on AC.com?

I'm trying to book a fairly simple YYZ-YHZ flight, and google flights will allow me to book it (only in basic Y): https://flights.app.goo.gl/6em84

When I went to find it on the AC site, it doesn't show up as an option at all. I checked expertflyer, and it shows available and lots of inventory. I don't really want to call AC, and don't want to book basic, any ideas why its unavailable?

Just worked for me, one way on Christmas Day, offers 5 non-stops, with Y and J available.

Except the specific one the OP says they wanted isn't displaying.

Google flight link you've provided is for basic, and you can't "see" it unless you accept that it's BASIC ECONOMY

That's the one, which you can get if you use the 'Book with AC' button on Google Flights. The OP doesn't want Basic, which is all you can get using the deep link.

Does no one read the original posts anymore?

I don't see it on AC.com either. On Expedia I can get the flight in either basic economy or business. If you want to book with AC, you might have to phone in.

Interesting issue, AC622 doesn't show up at all if you start your search @ aircanada.com, and google flights link doesn't let you change fare class

This is a strange one. Doesn't show up on the website for me, or in the app. The EF inventory doesn't look unusual (J9 C9 D8 Z6 P5 R2 Y9 B9 M9 U9 H9 Q9 V9 W9 G9 S9 T9 L9 A9 K0), and I can IKK a seat in Y or J via the Aeroplan app.

OP, calling in to AC may be your best option.

Or save yourself a call:

If you can learn how to use ITA and ITA-Matrix-PowerTools - Userscript for Orbitz/DL/UA/AA/BA/CZ/IB/LA/LH/LX/TK, this is really easy.

Thanks. I ended up calling in and booking over the phone, as it never ended up showing up online.

24 hours after booking, I got an itinerary change email from AC, saying the flight (AC622) would now be rouge operated and is AC1590. So I think that was likely the issue that caused the pending change?
