Hi Lorna, we use Continental quite often flying into Halifax via Newark and haven't had a problem with them yet. Baggage allowance is good, double what you get using charter flights. You just need to get your ESTA form if in transit through USA - it takes minutes to apply for and get online - link here

Just to update... OH had no idea about the ESTA form (never heard of it) Thank goodness you mentioned it, or we would have gone flying off into the sunset like a couple of blissfully unaware idiots:o
Whew... Thanks for that (says she wiping her brow....:rolleyes:)
At least someone knows what they are talking about. This forum is a lifesaver"

Hi all... just a quick question. Am flying from Glasgow to Halifax with a long stopover in Newark. Does anyone know if there is a document available that lets you leave the airport between flights? Is this possible, or do we just have to sit and wait...ZZZzzz!:zzz:

FYI - maybe you're aware of this, I wasn't but for flights from June thru Oct take a look. They travel on Saturdays and for the dates I was checking (Hfx to London on July 3/rtn July 17) it quotes $748 total, taxes etc in! Baggage allowance is 2 cases up to total 20kgs.

It's the Canadian version of Jetaway2Canada (Monarch).

We're giving them a go one way from Halifax to Gatwick in July, as Canadian Affair failed us by stopping the Sunday flights. Hopefully will be ok (:fingerscrossed:

Can I just give a big thank you for the Canadian affair link, the prices on there look fabulous. :)

Could anybody give me a brief explanation re the difference between the instant purchase and standard fare options though? as clicking on the links from that site produces a database error.

Yeah and they've been around a while as well....however there's nothing much in the price - for similar dates as my prev.post (Thurs flights instead) Can. Affair are about $90 more per person than the Gotravelflight.com

Unfortunately in our case though they don't fly from Manchester and I don't think they go to Toronto or Vancouver either.

I hope that you aren't on a tight schedule. They are notorious for delays so don't plan on being on time. In my case, the one and only time I flew with them I was stuck for almost two days. Never, ever would I use them again no matter how cheap they seem to be.

I dont think you can...havent they gone bust?

Easily done Patsy;)

We have booked our flights with Air Canada as that ment we could fly when and where we need to (at a cost of course). I was annoyed to find that you can now (new bookings) only have one checked bag included in your ticket price (23kg I think from memory). If you want to check a second one now, you have to pay an extra $50:frown:
