Air Canada JAX-YYZ-JAX...anyone taken?

[ben says]

Anyone taken the direct to-from Toronto/Jacksonville?

I read they took their once weekly (twice?) and turned it into a daily.

Just wondering if anyone has flown it, what the feedback is like (are the planes full), etc?

A full YYZ flight could only mean good things for JIA in the future. Here´s to hoping (if New Orleans can get a Frankfurt and London flight....so the thinking goes...wishful thinking, but thinking nonetheless!)

I am curious as well.  Possible flight to Toronto in early December.

If you don´t mind me asking, why are you taking the flight? Just trying to gauge what kind of market this flight is after (leisure, biz, etc).

From what I understand, Air Canada has opened this market in the hopes of opening up Europe and the rest of the world to NE Florida, using YYZ as a stopover. (A friend who works for the Jags and is close to Khan told me this.)

It was Sat / Sun service when it started, when did it go daily?

We may be taking the returning flight back to Jax in late December, but haven't scheduled it yet.

Took it in April/May. I don't really remember so it must have been somewhere between 60-90% capacity. More or less and I feel like I would have noticed.

Leisure.  Visiting an old colleague.
