Based on experience, can I expect the price to go up or down as the day approaches?
Is it better/cheaper to book it through a Canadian site (i.e. Westjet, Air Canada) or go through an American site?
I was actually getting the return for $391 but the advice I got from my 'travel agent' (my mom) was to wait and just book the one way there as it was cheap. Thanks for any help!

Hi Meelapo,
Predicting price changes is impossible, but in general I find that with less than 3 weeks to go, prices tend to only go in the upwards direction.
Coming back on the 9th is a bit cheaper, $344 on Alaska. WestJet is cheapest for the 10th, $384. The 8th is $218 on Air Canada if you want to bail early.
Your best chance of coming back cheap would likely be a Mon/Tue/Wed, but unfortunately it looks like you're looking for a Saturday, which could make it tough.
I see there are flights from LAS to SNA on the 12th for $81 after tax (US Airways) and then SNA to YYC for $112 after tax on Delta. Not sure if that would really help you though!
