It’s expensive to fly within Canada. I’ve priced it out myself, and at certain times of year you can fly to Europe for less than it costs to get you to Manitoba, just one province over. Ridiculous.
So…..I felt it my civic duty to let you in on a short-lived secret. WestJet is having a seat sale! 50% off flights within Canada that must be booked today and need be used on or before February 28th (read the fine print).
In case anyone hasn’t flown this airline before, I should let you know that it may be your best flight experience ever. There is no guarantee, of course, that all will flow smoothly, but after having flown WestJet to Vegas and back, I’m an airline convert. Our last 6 return flights or so have been on Air Canada and thay have been disasterous. Awful. Unbearable. I’d easily give up collecting Aeroplan points (which has been quite rewarding for us in the past) if it meant leaving and arriving on time and actually making connections between cities.
Oh, and the tvs in the back of the seats on Westjet flights are genius. Everytime I’m on an Air Canada flight, I end up with the WORST movie selection. The last time I was forced to watch Dreamer. Thanks, but I’m not 6. And the time before that I would have been able to watch The Polar Express had the screens been working, but instead we had no in-flight entertainment other than the riveting Air Canada magazine that was supposed to keep my mind off the rock hard temporary “seat” that I was assigned. Air Canada bites. Hard.
So. Go book your WestJet flight now. Do it. Go somewhere. Explore Canada. Tell them I say hello.
Jessie - Ah, Dreamer. Nothing is more entertaining than a horse movie featuring a pint-sized scallywag who melts the heart of a cynical man no longer in his prime.
Okay, I confess, I haven’t seen it, but that (based on the artwork) is what I imagine Dreamer to be about.
Nothing beats the boredom of being subjected a bus ride with a Benji movie on a bus on mute.
