I for one am surprised at all the <acronym title="Air Canada">AC</acronym> bagging. I have had nothing but top-notch service in the last 10 months this year (mainly long-haul J - 12-14 hours plus). But I have to say the service from check-in through to baggage delivery, and most importantly, the inf...

Would be surprised to see such a large increase in a short period of time for a struggling carrier.

Along with that will come an airport with more to offer in terms of destinations, flights and choices. For a city the size of Montreal, it's new imrpoved airport is adequate.
