avg price for Calgary->Toronto

[gmoney82]

I am planning to book a trip to Toronto around the beginning of September. Including the 10% off promo for Westjet, the one-way price is $215 before taxes etc.

I think I should book now, while there are still favorable time options. The price seems pretty good.

Just looking for a quick response on whether you guys think $215 is an average/good price for that time of the year, or should I wait?

I have gone mid-week for as low as $130 one way before tax (Nov).

I booked some flights in March for this summer (June) that are $150 before tax during a seat sale.

And during holidays (Dec) it is usually $250-350 one way.

$215 is a pretty decent price.

One thing I also did was I booked one trip way in advance, and during a seat sale I got a price that was about $100 cheaper, so I paid the penalty (about $50 I think), and was able to still save $50.

Thanks.

i'm going to book it and keep an eye out. September is still a few months away so anything can happen to the prices until then

if you still haven't .. i'd say wait!!

if you keep looking ... you'll easily land 130 - 180 one way before taxes.

I go to Toronto often and they will always have seat sales from time to time.

Are those just to sell off the remaining seats on red-eye flights etc. ?

As of right now, the departure time options are very good, I just dont want to be tempted by a seat sale and only have the options super early/late connecting flights

K - I'll wait...thanks for the input.

The travel dates are relatively flexible, so hopefully I benefit from waiting on the right prices. $215 isn't too shabby if I had to fly on a specific date - and for people who are wondering why I'm mulling over a ~$60 dollar difference, its because I'm paying for my girlfriend's round trip ticket as well.

Damn that sux...I miss the days when Jetsgo was forcing everyone else to undercut each other. Not in this recession anymore

relax guys .. the sales will be back ... last year I was flying the whole family to Toronto for the wedding and I followed it closely. By all means this year could be different but with the 'recession', I would think there will be more sales. Sales come and go .. I understand WestJet has a sale every quarter .. it's usually 50% off sale every quarter. Keep your eyes peeled .. when its around 130 - 180 range .. go for it.

'The Travel Lady' has come up with some really sweet vacation packages so I am seeing traveling cost drop ... at least a tad.
