Flying to UK?
Im sure that this may have been a subject discussed on here at some point before, however, I'd just like to share this with you all anyway.
For those of you who are planning to fly back to the UK at some point for whatever reason, I would strongly urge you to call the Glasgow office of Canadian Affair rather than booking online at canadianaffair.ca as the price difference and savings are amazing.
I have just been given a quote by the Glasgow office for 4 people (3 Adults, 1 child) flying from Vancouver - Manchester in May of $2606.00.......approximately $1100 cheaper than the price displayed online!!
I'm not quite sure why there seems to be such a huge difference, but there is and I guess thats all that matters when you have a tight budget.
Again, appologies if this is a topic discussed on here in the past but am so excited I just wanted to share!!
:-D

I used to live in Kettering and so ventured down to MK every so often.....and apart from the roundabouts, it's a pretty good place.

Oh MK shopping center is just fab! Was there for Christmas shopping in 2009 wandering around with a large cup of hot mulled wine. However...the mini-ice skating rink they have outside is not a good idea after consuming a few too many of the said mulled wine.....hillarious consequences!!

Annoyingly just seen an advert for Candianaffair.com - much cheaper than the flight we have next week! Hey ho ... starting from under £300 direct return from the UK ... obviously on limited flights - but booking early definitely seems to pay off!!

Re: Flying to UK?
Air Canada presently has an excellent seat sale from the UK.
Base fare is around $200 CDN return. Dates from 5th January to 7th April. 7 day advance purchase, Sat night stay.
Not available in reverse (another reason why I would always advise on starting travel in the UK, even when living in Canada....)
