Has anybody flown on this lil fella between Heathrow and St Johns Canada?
I didn’t know Air Canada flew the A319 to Heathrow, it must be on the outer edge of the aircrafts limits.
What are the comfort levels like?
How many seats does it offer?
How long is the flight?
Would you recommend it?
I believe the flight is a seasonal summer flight only.

Just to give you some perspective, St. John’s Newfoundland is closer to London England than it is to Winnipeg Manitoba.

Flight time from Heathrow to St. Johns is only around 4hrs30min so well within the capabilities of the A319.
I guess we are used to associating transatlantic flights with long-haul aircraft, but the coast of Canada is closer than we think!
That said, I’d still not like to be on an A319 flying east-bound overnight… 😮

So the A.319 is cleared for ETOPS?
