Weird. Why not 4 different days?

They are stacking flights together so that they can easily consolidate and drop one with minimal disruption to guests and no need for compensation due to the same or close departure time, depending on flight loads and COVID related changes close to flight time.

Has anyone here flown WS in long haul J since TATL flights resumed? If so, what's the onboard service like?

Yeah, that does make a lot of sense. They can easily cancel one of the flights depending on load.

For the time being, the J food offerings are aligned with the W food offerings on TATL flights. Dine on demand has gone away. There is a hot meal option for the first service and a cold light meal (no option) for the second service.

Also VRA, SJO, LTO, ZLO, ZIH, MID.

Didn't notice any frequency changes yet to other routes, and all US routes were left untouched. I'm assuming this means the full schedule update will be loaded in this coming week's update.

Edit: Looks like they've added a bunch of flights to PHX / PSP. YYC-PHX will have two flights on November 5/6/8/9 and YYC-PSP will have an extra flight on Nov 6 and 9th.

How is the consistency of their US bound flights? Any being cancelled due to low passenger loads?

They haven't cancelled any single flights based on poor loads, but they have dropped Transborder routes that weren't performing well. Only YYC-LAX has been operating steadily since they resumed international ops back in June. LGA / LAS / MCO and ATL were all attempted and re-dropped. Seems initially they were picking DL hubs to fly to, but they've moved on to focus on popular sun destinations instead.

International wise only CDG was resumed and completely dropped again. All others are still being operated in some capacity currently. In December, I believe HUX and even possibly some Hawaii flying is planned, should know more when that schedule is published next weekend.

On an additional note, WS international presence is steadily growing back with 10 flights yesterday to Mexico alone, 2 to Jamaica, and 2 to the US.

New schedule is live.

Also looks like YVR-LAX, YEG-PVR, YWG-PVR is also resuming.

Looks like WS is really taking advantage of the pilot program with YYC-HNL/OGG direct flights that are absurdly expensive and sometimes PE/Business is even cheaper than Economy. Why not add more direct flights on 787 or 737?

Looks like YEG-YHZ is also planned to resume too.

If my count is correct, 10 international destinations and 21 individual routes are planned to resume in December.
