Fast 5 Travel Tips: How to find the YBR bargain
YBR is a small, and relatively new airport in Brandon Manitoba. It has daily service from Westjet Airlines to their hub in Calgary, Alberta.
So far, YBR is not recognized by the major search engines or travel sites, thus making it a challenge to find the best dates to fly. However, using these tips and tricks you'll be poised to find the best deals.
1. Be flexible. If your leisure travel can be tailored to suit the best bargains, you'll save more money and travel for less.
2. Using your favourite APP, like 'Air Fare Watchdog', 'Kayak' or 'On The Fly' set your searches for YYC (Calgary) airport. When you find the cheapest dates to fly to your destination, from Calgary, THEN go the Westjet flight booking page and look up the price starting in YBR.
3. When there are advertised Westjet sales even from other departure cities, make a point of looking up your favourite destinations. They might be on sale from YBR even though they are not advertised.
4. Book 6-8 weeks before your desired flight. Historically, this is when the best prices are offered.
5. Now that a second daily flight has been added, (After January 15th, 2016) you should look to book trips for January to March, as soon as possible, while supply still exceeds demand.
** Do note that holiday times (like Christmas and Easter) are extremely busy travel times. You are not likely to find a bargain during these high times. It's best to book early and commit as soon as you can.
And of course... the best tip of all: Subscribe to this blog and hear about deals departing from Manitoba cities!

West this September
Westjet has announced it will fly out of Brandon, MB on a trial basis, starting September 2013.
There will be daily flights to Calgary, AB just after lunch time.
Flights from YBR (who knew Brandon actually had an airport code!) to YYC are about $300 return, taxes included. Price, of course, always fluctuates based on supply, events, sales etc. But $300 is a fair fare to keep in mind.
With the cost of gasoline going up, and considering your time to drive to Calgary, Westjet is very well priced and is a fantastic option.
Don't think of Calgary as the only destination. Remember that it is a Westjet hub. It's your connection to Vancouver, Palm Springs, Arizona, Denver, Edmonton, Hawaii, Los Angeles and more.
This is another use it or lose it scenario. So, if you can possibly travel this fall, I would urge you to do so and out of Brandon. With Westjet in our community, there's no where to go but up!!
