Like Cinderella's carriage....

At midnight, the bargain London fares turned into pumpkins.

Both Air Canada and Westjet adjusted their fares after midnight on September 16th/17th.

Will you book London at this regular fare price?

Or will you look at it again only if another seat sale drops the price below $700?

Air Canada says: Any day of the week!

When Westjet announced their new Canadian route to London's Gatwick airport, I expected Air Canada to answer back with matching fares.

Right on schedule, Air Canada did just that, but without any marketing fan fare or even a suggestion of it on their home page.

BUT, if you look at their prices in May and June 2016, you will see they jumped all in on this little London blitz. Infact, Air Canada's answer to this announcements was.... 'any day of the week.'

While my comments are simply an observation, and the words are my own, it seems crystal clear that Air Canada is sending a message.

You want to go to London? We'll take you there (and back) for $623, any day of the week!

Prices subject to change.  Routes and flight times will vary. Book early for best selection.

Booking London? Or thinking of it?

If you'd like to jump at the chance to get in on Westjet's introductory flights and the great deals to London, you have until September 16th at midnight.

This is a great time to talk to an expert! A local travel agent can answer all your questions in a timely manner and help you make the best choices for hotels. They can also tentatively book your seat, securing the best price and give you 24 hours to confirm and pay for your booking.

24 hours to give it a good look, and gather your thoughts and funds is a real asset to booking with an agent, rather than hoping to get the right price yourself, especially on short notice.

If you don't have a favourite local agent, I'd encourage you to call mine, Sheri Kines. Sheri has helped me navigate these deals and get exactly the kind of trip I want, at the budget I can afford. She's the one who helped me book Finland recently!

Sheri was one of the industry experts invited to Westjet's High Tea Reception to launch this route. She knows the ins and outs of this deal. She heard it straight from the executives at Westjet.

While I can find the deals, she's the one who can help you book it!

There are still a few flight dates/times available in March and April if you are still thinking about Florence/Tuscany this spring.
