bore da all,

me and my Canadian gf (with a hot accent) is going to see her parents for xmas and trying to get tickets is a nightmare. I mean I'm getting prices of over £1000. She wants only direct flights which doesn't help but either direct 8 hour flight or a 18 hour flight for £200 less.... mm.

anyone got any tips or find any nice prices? going from london airports to vancouver...

Past few times I have been, they got the best price by far for me.

Another vote for either dialaflight or canadianaffair.

flew with Canadianaffair to vancouver direct with air transat (truly awfull) but was cheap like 700 each i think.

Dude.

www.hotwire.com if you can. Might be hit or miss for the christmas period.

I've used BA in the past who havent been "that" expensive.

You're going to find low prices hard to come by over Christmas as they jack the prices up due to demand.

Since Zoom closed down, I've been flying with Canadian Affair. Crap but cheap.

Nice hint for Canadian Affair: Pay the bit extra for the next class up. Well worth it for the foot room because the normal seats are cramped cramped cramped. Alternatively, there are about 8 seats in the rear of the plane which due to layout, have a lot of extra leg room.

I've booked a flight with Transat in October to Toronto(ooOO).

Terrible time to be flying to Vancouver. Hiked up prices because of the Winter Olympics going on at Whistler. Hope you have fun over there though, I miss Vancouver a lot.
