Flights Prices more expensive from canada,
Flights, Air Transat seem to be the cheapest I bought a one ticket for £130 including tax from London to Toronto if I wanted to fly back I getting quotes of $700 - $800. is this really the case or am I missing something.

Re: Flights Prices more expensive from canada,
If you're picking a proper scheduled airline for your return flight (Air Canada, BA etc) then yes, that is the kind of price you're going to pay.
What dates?

It is however true that the same ticket on Air Transat, probably on other airlines too, costs more if you buy it in Canada than if you buy it in the UK, perhaps by telephone from Canada.

yes, but can you book at Canada -> UK -> Canada flight from the UK ?

Call the Canadian Affair office in London. I booked a one way ticket to London in club class for $420.00 taxes included. If I booked in economy it would of cost me about $187.00 taxes included.

Doesnt canada extract a lot of taxes on flights? Are they avoided to some extent by buying from the UK instead or is that some naive dream?

The taxes are certainly startling. I just booked a couple of flights on points, the tickets are free but the airport taxes are more than $500 per ticket.

Re: Flights Prices more expensive from canada,
seems like it best to phone up,
I got some mates coming here to toronto in the summer(july) for a month and I want to go home for xmas for 1 - 2 weeks depending on work.
