Jets in Vancouver: Bargain!

This Westjet - New Leaf price war is opening up some fun opportunities, at a discount.

The Winnipeg Jets play in Vancouver on March 14th. If you'd like to go, Westjet will fly you there for $232. That's about half of the normal price.

To add a downtown hotel to this, I've turned to Expedia.ca (Prices shown are flight and hotel included, per person.)

I've stayed at the Westin Grand (not pictured)  About $475 in this package scenario. It's a great hotel which I can certainly recommend and about 2 blocks from the arena.
The Rosdale is within 2 blocks as well. There are any number of convenient hotels including the Sandman.

Lonesdale Quay is not as conveniently located to the arena, but is in a shopping market like The Forks in Winnipeg and is also near the Ferry.

The game is on the 14th. If you prefer to travel on the 13th, to be safe, add about another $100 to your package.

The Jets will be in a playoff race at this point. Could be a heck of a game!


These prices won't last. Price wars can last a few days, or mere hours. Limited seats available.

Jets rematch in Nashville?

Our Winnipeg Jets lost a hard fought game to the Nashville Predators tonight. They played really well, but Rinne, the Preds' goaltender was amazing! He stole the game for them.

If you would like to take a little winter break from Manitoba and go catch a hockey game in Nashville, the Jets play there again on March 7th.

Right now there are good prices on flights from United Airlines from YWG to BNA.  You can pair it up with a hotel through Expedia and get a 5 night package, including flights and taxes for about $1000  (Canadian funds).

Tickets to the game (off Stubhub.com) start about $37. For $100 per ticket, you can sit in the Club Seats. Yes, those are the good seats!
