Canada Extra

[wanna_be_there]

Just seen an advert on another site for these guys:

Canada Extra is proud to offer a wide bodied Boeing 747 with a 2 class high quality service. Our First Class cabin offers large comfortable seats with champagne and fine wines accompanying delicious 3 course meals served on bone china. Our spacious economy cabin gives the best value to Canada with the option to purchase extra legroom seats combined with a meal package. The wide-body cabin configuration offers improved legroom and personal space for every passenger, which is ideal on transatlantic flights.

We are excited to now offer regular services between London (Gatwick) and Glasgow, to three Canadian cities of Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary.

Wonder if this one will see the light of day? What do you guys think?

looks like the guys from Go Travel Direct could be behind this one

Sounds like a beer.

hope it comes off, we need another competitor to Canada from the regions.

Would certainly be an exciting addition to the market and product which offers a cheap cabin plus a good upgrade is just what5 the doctor ordered. The trouble with Canadian Affair and TCX is that whilst good value for money the upgraded cabin and service is not good enough to deter me anyway from flying BA WTP.

The UK consultants behind this are highly experienced and I sincerely hope it works out for all concerned.
Very exciting

Canada Extra site has been taken down...just a holding message "Canada Extra coming soon" is shown right now

Not sure if this is a temporary glitch?
