Hi,
Haven`t been for a while but always went out the cheapest I could. Found that Thomas Cook or MyTravel Lite ( out of Manchester ) were great on price & service, & even went one year with Lufthansa via Frankfurt ( from B`ham ). What I paid then ( £350-£400 ) 6years ago probably wouldn`t be too relevent today.

Cheers,
Ted.

Try Air Transat.
If not direct,try to Calgary then a cheap WestJet flight on to Vancouver.

None of the options above are possible until you can spell the destination correctly :-)

WestJet, haha, good option, but hardly Easyjet cheap...

YVR - job done.

Dunno if Air Canada Jazz are cheaper than West Jet (they sound cheaper) but they do have "jazzzzzz" in the name which makes them my preference for internal flights.

Think my Thomas Cook & MyTravel Lite flights were booked through Canadian Affair, found them to be excellent on many occasions. Also the above flights went via Calgary, but don`t be put off since it was always a shortish stop.

Cheers,
Ted.

Air Canada are having loads of labour issues and strikes etc at the mo... I normally fly with them, but I'd be nervous just now. Maybe worth checking Canadian press [ http://www.cbc.ca/news/ ] before you book just to check what's been happening with them and if there's any action in the pipeline.
