Westjet

Vancouver to Calgary return....$781.00
Vancouver to London (Gatwick). Return...$740!

I had a friend ask we how that could be. And I have no reasonable answer.

Air Canada is actually $40 cheaper on the Van-calgary trip

It is going to be a long long time to recover domestic loads .

Btw. Got the email. Checked out the store.
How about a TShirt “will fly for food (or beer). And a matching collection mug?

I like it! I got my guy in Bangladesh working hard on some drawings but maybe I could find a talented out of work pilot good with the art skills.

As for Airline tickets thats fucked I just paid $240 CAD last minute ATL - YYC a week ago.

It’s just an algorithm that preys on supply and demand.

IIRC one scam you can pull in these cases is hidden city ticketing.

The strange thing I have noticed about NAM carriers and ticketing policies here, there seems to be no logic when it comes to advanced booking. Someone can by a ticket a year in advance and have the most expensive ticket on the aircraft. In Europe it seems the farther you book in advance the less you pay and go showing at one time meant you could only purchase a J class ticket even if Y was available. This bullshit of hovering over a computer waiting for the "ticket sale" is just plain crazy. Like a lot of things Europe seems to be so far ahead of us in many areas.
