Air Canada - how is it?
 
Need to decide whether or not to fly with them. Is it still a good, dependable company?

I see good price this summer to Europe, layover in Toronto.

I usually travel with Air Canada from montreal, been to Asia ,Europe,USA , had no problem , my husband is super elite member which is flying more than 100,000 mile a year with AC
I would definitely recommend them.

I've heard free wine and beer in economy on international flights.

Dayenu Feb 25th, 2010 05:45 PM

Thank you both, I'm registering with them now.

ARRGGGHHHHHH

too late! I thought to wait till I come home to confirm with my husband, and the price is now $800 up!

I. AM. AN. IDIOT.

That's it. No more grieving. I'll catch something till August.

I flew them last Oct and was very pleased.

It was the ONLY direct flight I could get from LAX to Montreal.

Will use them again!

What price did you see on Air Canada?

Dayenu Feb 26th, 2010 01:51 PM

Don't remember exactly, just over $1,000

There are a few itineraries in that price range, showing:

-$1174: KLM ticket, but Delta planes, connecting through ATL on the outbound and JFK on the return. Even cheaper if you connect through ATL on the way back, but the flight leaves at 11:15, which means you need to get to the airport by 9:00 or so.
- $1219: United & SAS, connecting through IAD on the outbound and IAD, EWR, or ORD on the return.
- $1270: United & SAS outbound, as above, and Air Canada, via YYZ on the return.
- $1340: United & SAS outbound, as above, and SAS & United, via FRA on the return.

All of the above are likely to be bookable via Orbitz.

What time is your ship due back in on the 23rd? The safest option for a same-day flight would probably be returning via either JFK on DL, via ORD on SAS, or via FRA with United, as these flights leave after 2pm.

I think you need to look mid-week - late Tuesday or Wednesday nights. I saw KLM in that price range the other day. Prices tend to go up on the weekends.
