Its nice to find some new companies but keep checking the old ones ....I compaed shopping4travel and Canadian Affair for 2 weeks holiday in May 2005 and the price difference was abot £700 (Canadian Affairs advantage) and you had to fly via Newark :scared: with shopping4travel, but I will keep it on my records just in case recommendations are worth it

We are looking at flying out to Halifax in February.

Pretty much the only choice seems to be Air Canada direct (£3500) or Continental via Newark for £1800.

Does no one want Zoom/Canadian Affair in the winter?

Maybe because if you fly by Newark and the weather is bad in Halifax they hold you over? Guess there really

Electricians are always trouble ... very polarised attitudes.

The reason for this is that my surname is CONDUIT.

As Canada is a bilingual country, there should be some driving puns as well, I suppose.
