Brandon to Vancouver Cheap!

Westjet has done it again!  Grab your sweetie for a long weekend and head out to Vancouver. These dates are March 8th to 11th. Great hotels!  I'd have to check, but if the Sheraton Wall is the one shaped like a grand piano, I've stayed there. Great location! Great everything. We had a very nice corner suite with a tiny balcony. It had a second floor outdoor pool as well.

Winnipeg departures are very similarly priced. About $30 more.  www.westjetvacations.com

And whether or not you plan on watching the Olympics, do keep your eyes open for travel bargains. Air Canada has announced their plan to offer travel bargains each time Canada earns a medal. When this promotion happened in 2010 it rocked! I went to the Bahamas for $99 plus taxes. (Air only)  However, when they did this in 2012 for summer games, it sucked. Nothing more than about 10% off.  So, I hesitate to get my hopes up, but I'll keep a watchful eye anyway.

Their first discount offering, just to kick it off, was 15% off Canadian flights. Within hours, Westjet offered the same.  Here's hoping the Jamaican bobsled team wins a medal and all Canadians get a discount to Jamaica to celebrate!!!

Stay tuned.
