Thread: Air Canada

Hi everyone...

I am planning to fly to Vancouver this July from Spain, as I will have my sister there for a month.
I have been checking how to make it, and I have seen that Air Canada is opening the MAD-YYZ in June.
So my question is:
Is there any embargo applied for the new routes on AC? I have read that sometimes, when the route is new in some carriers, there are 6 or 12 month embargo for non-reving, to make it easy for the new station.
How are the flight loads for YYZ-YVR usually in July? are flights regularly overbooked???

Other way would be Spain-LHR-YVR on BA // Spain-CDG-YVR... and it seems that London would be better, as I am a oneWorld employee, and BA gives some priority for us... and at the evening there is a last flight LHR-SEA that would work as a back up...
But CDG would also fit me...
Someone that have already done it?
I know it is too soon, but I would like to plan my days off, as I have to request them...

Any recommendation, apart than listing on idtravel.ba.com, for new T5? Air Canada?

Thanks !!


ps: if anyone needs help and loads on IB... a pleasure to help, as always.
