IanHarrop 37 #7 December 16, 2005 I think you might not have much choice other than Air Canada and Westjet. Anybody know any others?"Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #11 December 16, 2005 QuoteAhhhh, yes my keen geography skills have again won me notariety! Note to self: read the whole damn post next time. I should confess... a few years back when I was living/working in LA, I had to go to Dallas on a last minute business trip. It was going to bump up against a planned trip to Whistler, so I just got work to pay for LA/Dallas/Vancouver/LA. Called our travel desk and started to make the arrangements. After we'd planned the Dallas leg the agent said "the next leg?" I said "Vancouver." She said, "Oh, you'll have to book this whole trip through the international desk since it includes Canada." My response was: "But Canada doesn't count!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IanHarrop 37 #13 December 16, 2005 Hey Remster! She wants to know if there is anything to do in Montreal and Quebac City.... can't be much going on in these places is there? Maybe she should come to Calgary instead!"Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remster 24 #15 December 16, 2005 QuoteAnybody know any others? no... JetsGo used to have some, but they went Belly Up... CanJet doesnt want to run head to head with Air Crapanada.... EDIT: You may want to look into Via Rail http://www.viarail.ca/. It will be alot cheaper and they get you downtown to downtown. Plus, you dont have to show up hours in advance for security/Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdrejhon 8 #16 December 16, 2005 Considering the high price for airfares on very short hops, don't forget there are overnight trips on VIA trains and Greyhound buses. DOWNTOWN to DOWNTOWN service, to boot, you save taxi costs from airport, and you save one night of hotel, as long as you're able to sleep sitting up... In fact, occasionally you save time by going by train nowadays (faster than the plane) when counting holiday delays and security lineups. Not always, but I've seen the train beat the plane sometimes, when transportation/security/taxi/hassles are taken into account. It's only about, what, a 5 hour trip by train downtown to downtown -- that's how long it takes by plane too when including the extra airport hassle time, doesn't it? (Especially when you have to an expensive taxi in rush hour traffic, taking 40 minutes to get to the airport in Toronto) I miss the days of $99 roundtrips to Toronto from about a decade ago -- including airport fees and taxes. It was much easier to show up at the airport just 20 minutes before departure, and not miss the flight... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kirrz 0 #17 December 16, 2005 I've looked up both flights and trains for the dates I need and because some of the train fares are sold out, they're costing the same at the moment... There are no overnight trains between Montreal and Toronto so having only 4 days there, its like wasting 10 hours of doing things time.... but GREYHOUND!!! What a good idea!!! I didn't even think of buses! I will look that up now!!! Thanks!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mailin 0 #18 December 16, 2005 I go to Montreal often. Be prepared for cold. We went up there January 6th one year and it was -5 (F) without the wildchill. Quebec City is nice, but better to be experienced during the spring/summer. You can easily spend 4 days in Montreal - lots to see!

mailin 0 #20 December 16, 2005 Thought you knew that? My family is scattered around the north east - from Providence, RI (me) up to Prince Edward Island - so I travel up there alot. Montreal is by FAR my favorite place in canada though. I really found Toronto to be pretty boring, where as there is so much history in Montreal you can't really get bored. French canadian heinz is better than ANY heinz ketchup you'll find in the US. I bought a case last year and when we go back in March I'll have to buy more!

Carpediem 0 #21 December 16, 2005 Montreal is far more english then Quebec city. You can stay entertained in either city, but I prefer montreal.
