I was flying out Friday morning and they’re building something with seating right in front of Avalon as well (across the hall). Is that part of Avalon or something entirely different?

I think they are just finishing up the carpet replacement there - the seating area in front of Gate #56 - in front of here was all displaced last Monday night when I was thru there.

I read somewhere about this. That av geeks are going hog wild about this news. Apparently these planes have been sitting in an airplane graveyard in AZ and are coming out of retirement due to not enough AC planes this Summer?

Meanwhile Air Canada's 737 Max-8 are all being shuffled to Air Canada Rogue, so interesting shuffles are afoot across the board.

Based on the same presentation where AC announced the Max was being moved to Rouge, they released likely deployments for their new A321Neos that start joining the fleet next year, and Edmonton is among the destinations with YYC and YVR.

I haven't been to the duty-free store in decades. Did they renovate just recently?

I've noticed and wondered how does one put up a duty free on the domestic side of a terminal? I've seen them in US airports and wondered the same thing. I guess we must have more transfer passengers coming IN domestically and leaving on the US side?

They check your boarding pass and deliver the bag to your gate. For YEG it would be international flights (Mexico, Europe etc) since those are in the same part of the terminal.

Never thought about Canadians going to Mexico....doesn't it behoove oneself to pay more 10X at a duty free in YEG than at the local donkey cart guy with an old, dirty, greasy gas can selling $0.25 shots of questionable Mezcal?

One day we will get that KLM flight to daily, in the meantime every little increase is a vote of confidence in the route.
