wait. i don't understand.
so the 30%.... that's just basically marked already and they are the 2nd prices in the table, is that correct?

[blainehamilton]

Bleh, taxes kill the deal anyways.

Up until now I would always drive to the US and other parts of canada. Now at over a buck a litre for gas, even that is out.

Sorry for confusion, I had tried using HTML table formatting but it's not working

The 1st price is the 30% discount price, the second is the additional $10 off. I hope this make sense. There potentially some better prices advertised but you can get the addition $10 off with this deal.

I agree about the taxes but that's life living in Canada, the US taxes isn't much better for flight travel because of all the "security" fee.

I compared some of WJ's sale prices against AC, and AC came out cheaper on several of the flights (by up to $50 in some cases).
For example, the Honolulu flight is $637 w/tax from Edmonton on WJ - AC can do it for less than $600. You won't be traveling in comfort, but it sure is cheaper.

I've been travelling quite a bit this summer Toronto to AB or BC and it ALWAYS comes out cheaper to go Air Canada - was I ever surprised by that result but it's true -- the deals on AC beat them everytime - I had to shop sometimes but I could always find a much better fair... West Jet is sucking it to people trying to make up for lost profits?? or maybe their just going on their good name because their passenger numbers are way up despite their higher fairs..

That has been my experience as well. I can recall only one time where WJ had a cheaper fare, and it was only by $10. And now, if you can go without checked luggage and the ability to change/cancel your ticket, you can knock up to $24 off a round trip ticket.

Try flying out of Buffalo on Southwest Airlines and you'll disagree about the US security taxes...

[Fisban]

WJ may not be cheaper, but the flight is one hell of a lot nicer then AC. If the price is close its an easy decision for me.

[pfdude]

Anybody ever notice that everytime WJ introduces a sale, AC comes out matching the next day? Cheap ass AC!

Oh and I find that WJ has the better prices on average (in eastern canada for business traveller times) compared to the same day/time as AC. AC has more flights tho.

I bought tickets last night, read this thread and WestJet wouldn't change it - even though they have a one day fare difference / cancellation policy.

I'm also a bitter potential WestJetter as I spent $600 to fly to Calgary for my final interview, yet never got the job.

If it was within 24 hrs you could have cancelled and only paid $20 no?

[coolman217]

that really sucks if they don't even let u cancel within 24 hours.
but i'm glad WJ bought the deal out. I find that AC offers cheap flights to the west coast.

[gulfan]

It's $40 now, and they won't do the one day change.
