Cancun or Montego Bay

If you can set up your own hotel arrangements you might nab a bargain on this week's charter flight sell offs. Do you see Cancun at $219 round trip? That's taxes included!

These were spied on expedia.ca but you can choose them from your own favourite travel site too.

Grenada and Curacao

Now, you simply do not see this kind of package very often. Grenada & Curacao.... those are not your typical Dominican and Mexican last minute deals.

Each of these islands in the Caribbean has had excellent reviews from friends. But I can't remember which hotels they stayed at.

These packages are from aircanadavacations.com

This week deals

Gee, if a person could go right away there's a few bargains to be had. Anaheim is nice. The Vegas listed here is not a super-bargain (but not terrible). The real gem here is Jamaica. 5 star resort under $900. Thats pretty much half price.

If you're into it and have the time.....

Grab these deals at www.redtag.ca or through your favourite travel agent. Then pack & go!!

Time to buy flights

Tuesday is typically the day when airlines adjust their prices, sell off last minute fares and start their sales.

Today, is a good day!

Delta has LOTS of bargains. Fly to California (round trip) into the John Wayne Airport for $301 taxes included. Many dates available.  $301 from MOT. $322 from GFK and $428 from YWG.

Fashion Island Mall, Newport Beach Cali

If you are interested in the Newport Beach area and the (fabulous!) Hyatt Newport Regency hotel you can flip back through this blog for lots of info on this great destination.

United had raised their flights to Denver back into that $360 range, but today it's actually sitting at $150 again. I simply must find a weekend in Denver this Spring!

Phoenix flights are $273 round trip from MOT. Though YWG is $525.

Want to go to Texas? Delta will take you to DFW, IAH or AUS for about $300. Rather fly to/from Winnipeg? Be prepared to double that price.

It's a good time to buy your summer flights, if you are in the market.

Post Easter Arizona

Here's a decent bargain. Flight, 5 nights hotel and a hockey game for $600 per person. They are direct, Westjet flights.

You'll even stay on site at the Hampton Inn Glendale/Westgate. It's a really great hotel, right next to the Jobing.com arena. It's literally a hop, skip & a jump from the arena, bars, restaurants and shops of fabulous Westgate! From Jimmy Buffets to Hell's Half Acre, there are good times.

I highly recommend this hotel when going to Phoenix specifically for Cardinals football or Coyotes hockey.

The dates of this bargain are April 4-9th. You can grab the Avalance/Coyotes game on Saturday night the 6th.

Escape this weather. Treat yourself to a genuine desert delight.

Big Changes at Westjet

Today Westjet.com is offering 3 ways to choose your seat on the plane. The formerly low cost, great service, one class airline has changed.

Today with Westjet, you can book an ECONO fare, a FLEX fare or a PLUS fare. The econo fare still includes one checked bag, and is the lowest price. You will have to pay for seat selection and any flight changes.

Plus fare includes two checked bags and "complimentary" flight changes at the airport. But both have fees to make changes outside your flight day. Flex fare is... as you guessed it, somewhere in between.

Here's an example for a flight to Calgary. The same seat, same flight, same day now ranges between $391 to $586. (Return flight, taxes included)

I expect that Westjet will stay true to its mission and roots. You'll find the same great service and reliability, just at more Air Canada-esque prices.
