Hi all,

My parents want to come and visit us in August (beginning). They teach gymnastics so can only come during the holidays which is obviosuly the most expensive time!

Any reccomendations or promotional codes?

Thanks

Where is "us"?

If they're flying to Toronto/Vancouver/Calgary/Halifax/Montreal/Ottowa, Canadian Affair / Air Transat are going to be the cheapest.

well that would help

Vancouver

Yer iv checked Canadian affair prices are high but thats to be expected as its school holidays!

Didnt know if anyone knew of any codes/deals

Go directly to Air Transat website, more often than not the prices are less than Canadian Affair - but this is high season so prices will be at there most expensive from now through August.

Good Luck

Virgin is running a sale for departures up to 18th August - £599, so still not exactly cheap, and I don't know what availability is like. Has to be booked by tomorrow (Tues 26th).

funnily enough my mum found this ad in the paper! She has booked with virign , thank god as flights were so expensive as shes on a budget I didnt think she would be able to come

Don't forget to add tax to that! I got Yvr to Lgw return this August for 950 all in - not bad!

That's not bad.

Are Virigin flying in and out of Vancouver now?

They are- but that's with good old Transat!
That 599 virgin quote still ends up at about 1200 with taxes etc

Yeah Transat are fine. Hubster flew with them in Feb $499 all in, I know it's February but you can't argue with the price, air Canada wanted $1100.

Although it did look like V had a few random 599 that did include tax! Was prob 1 seat per flight!

Doh that's in GBP
But why do they show taxes included when looking at Lhr to Yvr return but looking at Yvr to Lhr they don't include them! Gahhhh!

In the UK they have to include the taxes by law in the advertised fare, but I'm guessing in Canada they don't have to, so can add them once you've clicked through a couple of pages and are about to book!

Only between May and October and only three times a week I think. I guess they're trialling the route this summer to see how it goes.
