Deals from Vancouver B.C. for Nov trip?

[Linds]

I'm booking air/hotel for 5 adults and 4 kids! I haven't seen much in the way of fall specials advertised yet. Very interested in the kids stay/fly free and am hoping it will continue thru Nov. Anyone see anything or booked any good deals?

Also interested in the Passport Plus tix - are these available through our Canadian BCAA like the AAA referred to so frequently on this site? Fellow Canadians, please help me out!

We're from Richmond, B.C. We try to hit DL/CA every year. Here are some suggestions:

- I have seen some deals on www.jubileetravel.com on some awesome last-minute air/hotel deals. Check every Thurs nite or Friday for their last-minute updates.

- I have also seen some air only+kids fly free deals (no hotel), which is even better. I ALWAYS buy my hotel rooms separately on www.priceline.com. I have gotten the Anaheim Marriott for $65/night and Hyatt Orange County for $42/night. Oftentimes, I book 3 rooms because there are 6 adults and 2 kids travelling. Before you use Priceline, check what the going rates are for the Orange County (Disneyland) area first on the www.biddingfortravel.com site. Also, Priceline doesn't accept Canadian credit cards, with the exception of AMEX, so I just use my Costco Amex credit card.

- You can get your DL passes at BCAA. That's where my parents and brothers get them. My DH and I get ours at Sears Travel (Richmond Centre). Two years in a row, we've gotten the "get 5 days for the price of 3" deal.

This is all I can remember for now. Let me know if you have any more specific questions! I'm currently planning our March 2004 DL trip.

Wow! Thanks for the great info - I've never tried Priceline but it's time I started. I'll post back my findings.

You might check America West Airlines. They do flights and vacation packages which may be a good deal for you. I know they fly out of BC - we used them to go from Phoenix to BC to visit my MIL.
