Nov 3 Update: Air France to launch Vancouver-Paris service, Alaska drastically cuts YVR-LAX, Aeroplan bonus at Eaton Chelsea extended

Welcome to the first daily update of November!

News, Tips & Tricks
Great news for SkyTeam flyers in Southern B.C., Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan members and the traveling public in general. Air France has announced new service between Vancouver and Paris starting on March 29, 2015. The new flights will operate 3x per week initially and then move to 5x weekly over summer. The flights are already bookable at airfrance.ca. The Air France KLM group are definitely making inroads in Canada as just a few weeks ago KLM announced Edmonton service and between both airlines they already serve Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Montreal (and Ottawa with their exclusive bus service). This may also be a route that we'll see some promo awards on in the first few months of service. We should know this at the start of December when the next ones are released. Source Airlineroute.net

AF379 YVR1400 – 0835+1CDG 772 x24

Alaska Airlines is making a serious cut to their service between Vancouver and Los Angeles. The route will be cut from 3 flights per day to 1 flight per day as of January 2015. This comes as American and Delta expand service on this route. (Source: Airlineroute.net)
