Summer Flights
 
We have just looked at flights in JUly/August. We knew that they would be higher. However to Calgary/Edmonton they are £2600 approx with AC for 4 of us one way.

Canadian Affair £1700 to Calgary and £1900 to Edmonton one way

BA costs over £8000 for 4 of us on economy !!!! I knew they were losing money but at this cost nobody will fly with them surely.

Any other ideas on cheaper ways ?

Surely it's much cheaper to book return tickets.

Did you quote this online? Give Canadian Affair's London Office a call and ask for a quote....usually much cheaper over the phone randomly enough?!

For what it's worth, we booked return flights too which worked out a lot cheaper.

As others have said, book at return. Try www.skyscanner.net to find the cheapest dates.

Be wary of skyscanner though....they scrape info from each website so many times a day....it isnt always live availability / prices.
