Tuscan Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Hmm... this is still going to be too expensive unfortunately, since I believe those prices they give don't include taxes either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and White Army Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Seems like Air Canada has copied West Jet's autumn deal. http://www.aircanada.com/en/offers/air/ca_50_july08/ca_50_july08.html Thank **** for West Jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moncton to Toronto $120 flight duration 2 hours I've flown to Montreal many times 90 minutes tops A/C $165 1 hour 25 minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter S Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 via Toronto perhaps? I'm not sure if Westjest has a direct Moncton - Montréal flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strobe_z Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Anyone want to offer some advice? Should I book my ticket from Edmonton to Monreal for Sept. with WestJet tomorrow (July 23) before the 50% off Fall Travel sale finishes? Or should I wait and hope there's a better deal sometime between now and then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd book it asap if it was me. Then again I would if I could aka as in had the $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you'll see at least a $199 deal again in the next 4 weeks (but maybe your preferred flight will be sold out by then) and there's a small chance of a better deal, IMHO. But the clock's ticking, so if you're not a gambler I'd say book it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piltdownman Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Sunwings also has a seat sale on http://www.sunwing.ca/Domestic.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strobe_z Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Booked... I arrive in Montreal on Thursday, Sept 4th and leave Monday Sept. 8th. The wife is coming along, so we'll be making a holiday of it. Anyone know a good, clean (up to my wife's standards) place to stay at a reasonable rate? Oh and to whomever is standing behind us... please don't spill beer on my wife... It took a lot of sweet talking to get to to agree to my $1200 airfare. [)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianTraveller Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 The Fairmont actually had a fantastic deal on in Montreal - perhaps it's sold out by now. But it was...$139 night? Mid-week and weekend, too. Also check out the Omni (although that deal is pretty old). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On flights: I am not yet sure if I'll book Vancouver to Edmonton for the October 15th game, but the deadline for the seat sale is tonight, right? If I do not do it tonight, how confident are you that a seat sale of at least equal value will be in effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianTraveller Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Absolutely 95% positive :-) You should have no trouble finding a $198 r/t (+tax+surcharge+++) from Edmonton to Vancouver. Whether it will get any lower is debatable. Whether there's space on a particular flight is debatable. The good news is that you have a fall-back plan - you get in a rental car and you drive. All Westjet flights Wednesday and Thursday still show "seat sale" availability, and so do most of Air Canada's, so that's a good sign re: finding a cheap flight. You've got plenty of time to "roll the dice" and the odds are in your favour. But since you'd only be saving at most probably $55, do you want to be checking fare sales every day for the next two months? If not, book early...like this seat sale.
