YOW-CUN still don't have 10x loaded, but I don't see YVR-PHX either which the PD press indicated would be returning, so hopefully it will be added in the coming days. Maybe some schedule coordination with TS to have the second frequency operate on days that TS doesn't fly.

Between WS (5x weekly loaded so far), PD, TS and AC, there will be, on aggregate, 24x weekly flights to CUN this winter.



PVR is down from 6x weekly last winter to 2-3x this winter -- the third flight only shows ops for the two weeks over Christmas.

TPA remains steady at 4x, however MCO/FLL are loaded as daily, which would be a big reduction from the 2x daily each flew this past winter.

LIR is also 4x weekly (down from daily), though on Google Flights it starts December 18, however in the marketing email I got from PD it says flights resume Nov 1, but I don't see those loaded either directly through PD.

I'd imagine there will be more changes as we get closer though - for example there are sun departures at 1405/1420 almost every day with no clear inbound, I'd imagine the YEG/YYC morning eastbounds will shift an hour earlier, similar to this summer, which would be the inbound flights for these departures.

So overall, PD are what +12 weekly international with today’s announcement (but wasn’t NAS 2x this past winter?), -7 weekly for PVR & LIR, for a net +4 or 5 on international, but -14 on transborder. Domestic is +1 thus far on the jets and +14 to YHM but YTZ is -7 but YQG & YSB are somewhere around +12. At this point it seems like net capacity is roughly flat for this winter.
