Air Canada has announced an extension of its Edinburgh to Toronto service.
Originally arranged as a Summer-only service, starting on 2nd June and ending on 28th October, it will now continue until 8th January 2024.
The service will operate daily during the Summer peak, dropping to three flights per week in Autumn. Air Canada uses a modern Boeing 787 on the route.

After 8th January there will be a short gap before flights restart, probably at the end of March 2024 for the launch of the Summer timetable.
As a reminder, Air Canada also operates:
- London Heathrow to Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Halifax, Mumbai (yes, Mumbai!)
- Dublin to Toronto, Vancouver (Summer), Montreal (Summer)
- Manchester to Toronto

JW Marriott Madrid hotel opens
In other news …. this wasn’t on my radar of new openings, but Marriott has just announced the opening of the new JW Marriott Madrid hotel.
This is the first JW Marriott hotel in Spain and – quality wise – the brand is meant to sit between Marriott and The Ritz Carlton / The St Regis. I suspect this one will be nearer the latter.
It sounds good, with just 139 rooms. It is a brand new hotel, set in a converted building by Puerta del Sol and close to the Four Seasons hotel. Suites on the upper floors have large terraces with views of the city – see above.
