WestJet: YYZ - MCO $99 ea way

[esdras]

I am eagerly watching the airlines. We usually fly from Detroit but are open to anything. We live about 3 hrs from Detroit and Buffalo and 2.5 hrs from Toronto. Flying from Detroit has always been a great/smooth experience. Can't say the same for Pearson! We are leaving the end of November so here's hoping SWA has their seat sale.

Yer preachin' to the choir. I've driven to both DTW and Pearson for flights (leaving from the London area) - and unless the flight is at an ungodly hour, driving to Pearson has almost always been a royal pain. Traffic on the 401 starts backing up somewhere between Milton and Mississauga. Detroit or Toronto are about the same distance from my home - but even with a border crossing (Sarnia-Port Huron) I have always been able to get to DTW faster than Pearson.

I just booked 8 tickets with Air-tran for $2112 taxes included. It was the best price we could find as we've been watching the fares daily! We are flying out of Detroit.

Even though we're going in about a month - I (at the time) reluctantly bought our airfare back at the end of April. It was a non-stop on NWA right in the middle of what I was expecting to pay - I had budgeted a maximum of $800 USD r/t all taxes for 4 tickets - but hoped to get it for maybe $600 if a good seat sale came up. I was checking everything - NWA, Spirit, AirTran, etc. I got the NWA for $700 (came out to $702.93 CDN). With all the recent fuel surcharges, baggage fees, etc. - I'm now glad I bought when I did - I don't think I could get a better non-stop deal at this point - at least not one with flight times we want.
