    The flight will be welcome news but for those just connecting in DXB getting a good *A connection might be more challenging.

    Air Canada going to compete with Emirates and Etihad (Abu Dhabi is only 40 min away)?! What a joke!

    AC is a rubbish airline in Business - absolutely cannot compete with the other 2 or Qatar from Montreal.

    And they want to do 10 across in Economy with horrible inflight service!

    Don't think most people will terminate in Dubai....Dubai and Abu Dhabi are a connection hub, and given the passenger profiles, likely this will be a stop-over to India / Sub-Continent (assuming same demographics as the the Emirates/Etihad flights to YYZ / Chicago).
