Midwest Airlines

Midwest has some really great ticket prices to Toronto. Of course, you have to fly by June 8.

Well, then get over here....

Great if you're flying from MSP; it's $938 from Bradley. :-) That's okay. If I make it to Toronto for Corflu the first weekend of May as I hope, it'll be by driving. Of course, if gas prices keep going up the way they have beeen, it'll end up being cheaper to fly from Minneapolis than it is to drive from Wales. (It's already $100 cheaper than the business reimbursement driving rate.)

Looks like NWA is responding to Midwest's sale -- they even have non-stops at $214, including taxes, fees, and such.

WoW!

Midwest is like $168 with exciting stops in scenic Milwaukee...

Including the fees?! Wow. ITA hasn't found those fares yet. It turned up the fares where the base price was that, but nothing lower for the days I looked.

That's *way* cheap.

It's a spring sale... and it has limited availability. Shock!

Did you try Air Canada? We have a deal with them - you have to go through our travel agent, though. Her contact info is on the website.

(I'm assuming that the reason why "flying by June 8" is a problem is because you're referring to Gaylaxicon.)

Round trip...

Round trip for $158?

Yes, that would seem to be cheaper than what's on the Air Canada website - though you'd have to get a room for the entire week before the con. That would probably negate the savings.

Still, give our travel agent a shout tomorrow - her name is Lynda Hurdis, and she works for Thomas Cook Travel. Her number is (905)569-0469; just quote convention number CV060224. I don't know off the top of my head what rate she'll quote you, but it ought to be better than what's available through the Air Canada website.

Of course, if you find something cheaper elsewhere, then by all means, go for it. I'm just giving you an option that you might not have considered.
