Title: Air line tickets , not piggy roast or anything wood
Post by: isawlogs on July 01, 2005, 06:04:56 PM
  My daughter went to British-Columbia on a working vacation , she is picking fruits over there . She left here by bus , 3 days 2 nights on the greyhound bus ... Nice trip but she would like to come back by plane .... 
  So my question would be  How does one find a cheap flight for her to come back ... She would be leaving from Vancouver and going to Ottawa  in or around the 28 of July .
 
I know some of you guys are real good with this computer thingy and could  come up with something for her to ride in or on ..  ;D

Paul
  She told me that it sure is nice country out there ... Cant wait for her to get back home and show me the pics she took .

Try priceline.com  or orbitz.com . My wife uses these sites for travel .  Hope this helps .  Tom

I have found pretty good prices on air lines own sites.  Better than priceline or orbitz on the same flights.  I guess my point is look around and then do it again tomarrow.

Marcel,

I don't know if this will help but if she was able to get to Seattle she could fly to Buffalo for $159 or to Detroit for $139 on Southwest. So, a bus trip to Seattle wouldn't be difficult and a bus trip from Buffalo or Detroit  wouldn't be too bad--except I don't know how far into Quebec you are. Could you meet her in Montreal?

Southwest reservations: www.southwest.com (http://www.southwest.com)

I assume she is 18 or older.

Round trip air fare is sometimes cheaper then one way,  just dump the return ticket.

Another option might be to talk Paul H into "driving" to the piggy roast. She could ride along and help make the trip easy for the little one. ;) ;)  ;D


You could pick her up at the roast!  ;) ;D

Marcel,

Is she in the Okanagan or in the Fraser Valley? I'll bet she has a great time out here.

Furby,

:D

Paul She is in the Okanagan Valley and yes she is having a great time . First time out there for her. She is at the moment in Osoyoos picking cherrys , From there she plans on going to some islands and then go up to Vancouver ...
Furby  :D  I will let her know that you have mention driving back with Paul , only thing she has a job waiting for her on the 1 of August . Unless Paul wants to come ahead of time a bit .  ;D
Doug ... She is 21 and purdy good looking  ;D ( just like her dad ) ;)
  She has never been on a plane and wants to come back that way , It cost her 133$ and change for the bus ride there , so far I can get her a ticket back here into Ottawa , witch is only an hour from here to the airport , for a little under 300$  I will check with West Jet and see ...

I was wondering if the exchange rate couldn't be evened out by you canadian guys simply putting the $ in front of the number like we do instead of after it.  I bet thats the only reason there is a difference in the dollars.  ;D

 :D :D  I see you're feeling better.

I was thinking,Saskatchewan and Manitoba are taking up a lot of valueable space.If they were removed from Canada.I could drive to the pig roast in a comfortable 2 day drive.

Marcel,

WestJet is great! They have good fares, treat their customer's like they're important, and best of all, everyone has fun  ;D! No kidding -- ever been on a plane where one of the flight attendendents sings to the passengers? Or plays the flute?

The further ahead you book the flight, the better the price.
