Default Cheap Weekend flight

Looking for something interesting to do for a weekend, one of my friends wants to go away for the weekend with a girl, not a girlfriend, flying somewhere and we're trying to think of a good place to go. Going warm is to far.. So that's out, LA seems a bit pricey..

Any suggestions? Vancouver? They've been there a bunch.. but would consider it.. hmmm

Whistler?

Anything like that?

Vegas seems a bit pricey?

Wouldn't Montreal be the same?

I'll look into both though..

Anything in Canada that intrigues anyone?

He can always leave the girl and pick one up there instead to save money.

What about Chicago or Seattle? I've gotten cheap flights there before. Hotels in Chicago are pricey though.

Quick glance looks like about $1300 for flights... Maybe they were expecting things to be a little cheaper

Seattle is brutal in the winter. I'd say Montreal or Chicago.

If you go to Chicago go to the big bar at the hyatt regency. Best bar ever ... 50m long bar.

Seattle's not much different from Vancouver in the winter.

Montreal is an expensive weekend...Vegas is a bit cheaper you'd probably get more bang for the buck too.

Phoenix is an option too...great weather, although a bit low on tourist stuff, other then golf and shopping.

San Fran is fairly inexpensive to fly too (not much more than Seattle), seeing as there are (still?) daily non stop flights there.

Could try Phoenix, since both WestJet and America West fly there.

You can fly to Ft. Lauderdale for $107 each way if you leave and come back on a Wednesday.
