How does this compare to what the Air Canada / WestJet duopoly typically offer?
To Regina or Saskatchewan, it's about 40% below the typical price of $300 roundtrip.
They are also non-stop flights. Air Canada & WestJet require a stop in Calgary or Edmonton each way.
To Winnipeg, it's about 33% below the typical price of $350 roundtrip.
They are also non-stop flights. Air Canada & WestJet require a stop in Calgary or Edmonton each way.
To Hamilton, it's about 40% below the typical price of $500 roundtrip.
They are also non-stop flights. Air Canada & WestJet do have non-stop flights to Toronto. So it becomes a question of whether saving 40% is worth the hour drive from Hamilton to Toronto.
