I think it's something like two per flight. That can make getting out on points a challenge.<br /><br />I wonder if there will be more seats available on Air Canada to fly out on points? Because most people up here have a ton to them to use.towniebastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129158923604362272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-7619105478894739802009-11-11T08:17:53.497-05:002009-11-11T08:17:53.497-05:00So, thnk they'll be flying to Pond and Iglooli...So, thnk they'll be flying to Pond and Igloolik by the end of the summer?Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475095146791154943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-20179553626830307392009-11-10T14:04:15.598-05:002009-11-10T14:04:15.598-05:00I enjoy that people show up from nowhere just to p...I enjoy that people show up from nowhere just to post their hatred of Air Canada...as I was telling a friend of mine recently move to Canada the other day when she started complaining about the airline, "Congrats, you're a real Canadian now.

I would definitely not want to deal with them up north, they're one very unreliable airline to me...<br /><br />Take care, JayVancouver realtorhttp://jaybanks.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-77408210058519832432009-11-09T22:55:23.844-05:002009-11-09T22:55:23.844-05:00I don't get it.

How in the world is the Iqaluit airport going to manage so many aircraft at the same time. <br />I'd love to know if they're going to do the Rankin corridor as well. If they do they'll HAVE to pick a different time of day. <br />By the time I left, on Monday Wed and Friday there were at least 6 planes on the tarmac between 1130 and 130. <br />Unreal. How is another flight at the exact same time helpful at all?Jackie S.

I shudder to think what it would be like going to and from the Arctic with them.

I find it hard to believe that their arrival times correspond so closely with the other 2 airlines. It was bad enough last Christmas when I was passing through Iqaluit and both First Air and Canadian North had flights leaving within minutes of each other. I'm surprised the airport authority would allow that. If anything, maybe it will mean that expansion of the terminal will be speeded up. When I first landed in Iqaluit in 2003, the tone of the place was like a funeral. Each successive year it has just gotten more crazy. At least I only went through the place 5-6 times a year at most. I can't imagine the hell frequent flyers will have to endure with Air Canada now jumping into the fray.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-39075280382644001542009-11-09T18:04:11.200-05:002009-11-09T18:04:11.200-05:00Wow, I thought that it cost a lot to fly from St. ...Wow, I thought that it cost a lot to fly from St. John's to anywhere...I hadn't thought that folks in the north would have the unique problem of it being too cold to travel.Alan W.
