Poster: A snowHead

I'm looking to book four flights to Vancouver from the start of March. The flights I can find seem to be very expensive compared to the last few years.
Does anyone know of anywhere where they can be found at cheaper prices?
Cheers

You checked out Canadian Affair? They were also doing good package deals (cheaper than Inghams/Crystal) for Banff when we booked so might be worth looking in to that.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Jumping Jack Flash, think Canadian Affair/Thomas Cook and Air Transat are all somehow connected.

Just tried Canadian Affair and they are saying that the are no flights available next year. Maybe they are available nearer the time.

we have given up on flying to Vancouver in winter and fly to Calgary from Manchester then an internal flight in Canada. We have flown to Gatwick and then to Vancouver a couple of times, but we have had so many delays we gave up.
We normaly ski in Silver Star and Sun Peaks so we fly into Calgary and then on to either kelowna/kamloops, when we flew to Vancouver we used to drive up to the resorts.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Another option is to fly into Seattle and drive up. There are *far* more airlines flying into Seattle than Vancouver, which means much more competition and hence lower price tickets. I think last year we saved about £150 *each* doing this - and car hire is much cheaper too. Okay, it's an extra 100/200 miles driving, but the saving makes it worthwhile for us.
