cool.......
they are going to have to train the FA's to use the ovens now:)
I assume meals from YYZ to Dublin or something more than BOB...
be nice to have some intl wifi crossing the pond though especially with no tv's just a thought I know we are all spoiled.
I am assuming they are using the 37?

YYT-DUB is 600nm shorter than YVR-OGG. Don't see why the inflight service should change one bit.

[snag]

Plus the 4 hour flight from YYZ (can't imagine too many originating from YYT), plus fuel stop. Charge up that tablet/laptop and bring lots of sandwiches.

Does WJ not fly aircraft to Dublin for maintenance anyhow? Good idea selling seats on flight that would ferry otherwise.

missing the point a bit but nevertheless spoken like a shareholder I can respect that.......
I was under the impression they were going from yyz to dublin or is everything via yyt?
its a round about way to get across the pond but if its cheaper they will come.
AC did it a while back I think or was that from yhz?....anyway another layover spot hopefully its long enough that you can see the sights.

Flights brought to you by the "George Street" business association, cause its gonna bring alot of drunken Irish feed for the pubs of St John's

It's all via YYT. "Same plane" from YYZ. As I said, I don't think the service should change from standard WS just because it's Europe. There are people who fly YWG-YVR-Hawaii which is 8+ hours and they seem to be able to survive without a hot meal.

Chicago to Honolulu is operated by a United 777 with ovens.

This is the offerings for Y+:
-Up to five extra inches of legroom
-Seating near the front of the United Economy cabin
-Complimentary soft drinks, juices, tea, and freshly brewed coffee

ORD-HNL:
Travel Time:
9 hr 11 mn

WestJet's Y+ is offering more for a shorter flight, even with cold food.

No maintenance being done in Dublin. Just Trois Riviere and Kelowna at the moment.

That is currently true.
This may change that though.

I bet the 787's that will replace the 737's on the Atlantic/Pacific runs will have ovens......

You think boeing wil find a battery that can run an "easy bake"?

[KAG]

No need in the flight deck there is a 115 volt outlet behind the FO seat.

I can't imagine there'd be more than about an aircraft a week headed over to Ireland for maintenance.

It would be pretty interesting to generate a business case that had WJ fly 7x a week on sched in order to sell seats on a weekly ferry flight. Besides, if you think it through, there would still be ferry flights required at the beginning and end of the program.

I doubt one has much to do with the other.

[3down&loct]

Does it say anywhere that the modification will be done in Ireland. I would say more than likely it will be done on site in YYC. Pretty easy mod from what I understand.

YYZ-EIDW IS 2839nm
YYZ-YYT-EIDW IS 2920nm...so other than the fact you have to stop, that's only 10 min in cruise flight difference. Not so round about, really.
