$694 to Dublin this Fall

Air Canada's Olympic celebration continues with this discount.... 20% off Toronto to Dublin, Ireland.

There isn't a discounted price out of Winnipeg, but I would simply suggest using Air Miles or similar to get yourself to Toronto.

Their current Olympic offers include Hong Kong and South America.

I'm a little disappointed we didn't see any great discounts to tropical destinations, but that's just me. I prefer a beach to anything.

However, the Olympics are about the WORLD not just my little piece of it, so overall, I think Air Canada did a great job on this promotion.

Go Canada Go!

Gold Medal = 20% off Flights

Air Canada is true to their word and they are honouring Canada's Sochi medal wins with travel discounts for Canadians.

Today's offer is 20% off flights to Florida (several airports incl Tampa & Fort Myers) and Las Vegas.
Flights need to be booked by February 11th, but are for select dates in June and September 2014.

As anticipated, Westjet has matched the offer.

Stay tuned, as more medals are won by our Olympians, more travel offers will be presented. Of course, these are very limited time offers. And some restrictions apply.

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.
