Re: Boston Aviation - Part 13

For the YYC flight, we would most likely use A2 or A3 as a 737 won't fit in A1 due to the wall.

For the YUL flights, they're pretty light and empty. Some flights we only have 20 guests and load like 10 bags. However, 3610 the afternoon YUL-BOS flight have been pretty packed on the weekends.
