Quoting FLYACYYZ (Thread starter): It's no secret that price still remains the #1 factor when selecting an airline by the average consumer |

Are we all sure about the dates, etc? |

Quoting FLYACYYZ (Thread starter): for example the lowest available fare YYZ-LHR was slightly higher than BA, would you go out of your way just to fly the newest addition to the fleet, and if so, by how much?? |
Quoting ACDC8 (Reply 10): I don't, the average consumer (meaning people having to pay for a ticket out of their own pocket) price takes precedence over schedule. However, if another flight costs only a bit more, say less then $100, and has a more attractive schedule, the average consumer may opt for that flight. |
Quoting DeltaDC9 (Reply 12): Didn't you just agree with me? Also, the average consumer usually does not have much say over their schedule as they cannot take vacation whenever they want. That is why i contend price and schedule are linked and they both determine the ticket you buy, not just price alone. That is way to simplistic |
Quoting DeltaDC9 (Reply 14): When can most ordinary people adjust their schedule? Most people must schedule vacation time months in advance, and must make arrangements for their absense. Schedule is more of a factor than most people here seem to think IMO. |
Quoting AirCanada014 (Reply 18): AC uses rolls royce engines on A340-500 and A330-300 |
Quoting Gilesdavies (Reply 17): If no one else beats me to it, I will gladly add a trip report! |
Quoting FLYACYYZ (Reply 8): That has typically become the North American norm. Customers in Asia & the Middle East, are more likely to pay extra largely based on an airlines quality & reputation--SQ/CX/EY/EK, etc. |

Anybody trying it out on YYZ-YUL ? |

Quoting Lnglive1011yyz (Reply 6): Then it will fly from LHR - YYZ on the 8th, and then YYZ-YUL and back later that day on the 8th...? |
Quoting Olympus69 (Reply 24): The first revenue flight, IF I'm understanding correctly, is the flight from YUL - LHR on the 7th. |

Quoting Accargo (Reply 29):
I think a lot of people are being overly optimistic about an acft that hasn't even arrived yet. There are so many things that can happen once it gets to YUL that can cause the whole schedule to change. Certainly there are tentative plans but there are NO assignments for this acft as yet in the ops system. The delivery flight isn't even entered yet. |
