Does anyone know of places to look for inexpensive international flights that originate in Canada? I need to book two international trips and am currently looking at close to $4000 in air fare. I don't know if things like Priceline work for flights booked outside the US.
Thanks

www.kayak.com works with flights outside the US. I have consistently found it to find good fares. Happy travels!

No such thing - huge country, small population = expensive air travel. However, right now Air Canada is having a sale and, allegedly, http://www.flightnetwork.com "specializes in cheap flights from Canada." |

You could try www.flightcentre.ca too - they often have fairly good deals, especially if you don't object to charter airlines. |

Thanks for the info so far. I checked the more expensive ticket and it is about $100 less on a few of the sites. I also called a travel agent and she was able to get two extra flights for the same price as I originally found. The other flight to the UK is the same price =(

Where are you? Most of us live near the US border and can hop over (Detroit, Buffalo, Seattle) to the US for cheaper flights.

I am several hours from one major Canadian airport and there are no large US airports nearby.

Because, you know, that stuff on the syllabus is like, in writing, and there are so many ways you can, like, read that, but when the guys who sit by you in class, like, you know, must know what's really going on, right? -- AmLitHist, channelling student

Try Canadian Affair. They have cheap flights to Britain, I think. From Calgary, Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal.

Thanks. I have tried all the sites you've mentioned and I just need to suck it up and buy the tickets next week.

I got a very good price to the U.K. from Air Transat, with Thomas Cook as the carrier. On my way back, my seatmates and I compared notes, and all of us had found this carrier to be the cheapest by far. I think they turned up on www.expedia.ca. |

So are fares from the US to Canada--I used freq flyer miles to get to my last conference to preserve some travel money. Toronto Pearson (YYZ), in particular, can be really expensive--huge landing fees, the highest in N. America, if memory serves, and the airlines pass the (non)savings on to you! |
