And you are out to lunch on Vegas as well. I booked two months in advance, and the only time I could get a comparable rate on Westjet to United/Delta was if I left on a Sunday and came back prior to Friday. I went to the Mandalay (2 people) with hotel and flight included during the May long weekend last year for $1,100 (Thursday to Sunday). I couldn't even fly to Vegas for that on Westjet.

What dates did you go to Vegas though?
+/2 weeks from spring break, Christmas, superbowl etc etc? You can book 8 months in advance, its the time period you travel that matters the most. Especially with their seat sales its best not to book so far in advance IMO.
I am not defending Westjet, but you cant blame them for not wanting to compete with United Airlines connecting you through Chicago, Denver, or SanFran especially when Westjet cares about its bottom line. What was Air Canada's price to Vegas when you booked?
Like I said, Westjet loses money if it routes you to Vancouver to get to Vegas. Yes its no reason to take Westjet but its also not a reason to bash them either.
