I looked at some CGY to VAN flights in february, and some flights are coming up at $99 instead of $174. So not quite 50% off.

Am I just looking in the wrong spot? Or will the sale be applied after I book the flight?

Thanks

Air Canada and Westjet have extended the sale to April 30th I believe. I was able to get $74 flights to Kelowna over Easter through aircanada.ca

I suspect that some flights are up to 50% off. I copied and pasted the message from my inbox to you.

Wow...saves a ton of $$$.

When we went down in November we stayed a 20 minute drive away. In Phoenix- rent a car. Period.

Hotels near the arena were around $175-200 per night, we had a decent place for $65. Quiet, near shopping, had a pool and internet.

Do not take a taxi, What I would do is take a shuttle if possible from the Airport in Abby to the Skytrain station in Surrey (King George) than go downtown from there, that will cost you about 40 dollars..

Yeah, just booked the wife to fly from Edmonton to Abbotsford one way for a total cost of $60.64. Best part is it's one way out of here too!

Seriously I have to make a work related trip to the Okanagan around that time too so I can send her out to see her folks a few days early. Big time bonus.
