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

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!

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.

>>>he flight leaves at 11:15, which means you need to get to the airport by 9:00<<<

>>and cannot fly back earlier then noon - off cruise ship<<
