Westjet Seat Sale to Orlando - silly prices for December...

I just checked some flights for clients for December. I was amazed to find the 13th or 14th December for a week, direct flights, round-trip, from Ottawa, for $350 - and that's TAX-IN... crazy!! (I just spent nearly double that for a flight to Edmonton...)

Considering that there was some (albeit extremely limited) availability on the free dining plan for the 13th-20th too, maybe you should call me and book!!

New charter flight from Ottawa for the winter season

Knowing that at least one of my loyal readers is from Ottawa (like me) I thought there might be some mileage in mentioning that Air Transat will be flying direct flights from Ottawa to Orlando for the winter season. Flights are on Fridays, and many dates have quite attractive pricing. Flight times are OK too.

 OTTAWA - ORLANDO   TS940   07:30  10:40

 ORLANDO - OTTAWA   TS941   11:40  14:35

Right now for the 7th Jan, for example, the price is a ridiculous $99 plus tax & service (total around $350)...

A reminder that Westjet are still probably your best choice from Ottawa as they have direct flights 6-days a week, so offer much more flexibility. Right now they also have a seat sale with their lowest fare around the same $350 mark - very impressive...

Their flight times are the same Monday to Saturday...

 OTTAWA - ORLANDO   WS1278   11:30  14:45

 ORLANDO - OTTAWA   WS1279   15:35  18:26

Sundays are:

 OTTAWA - ORLANDO   WS1280   17:00  20:15

 ORLANDO - OTTAWA   WS1281   13:15  16:06

Another Westjet seat sale plus JetBlue from Syracuse

Westjet just announced another seat sale.
50% off flights to Orlando. From lots of Canadian gateways. Sale rates from now through the end of January, so far.

Book by September 24, 2009 (11:59 p.m. MT) for travel until January 31, 2010. Blackout dates between December 18, 2009 and January 4, 2010.

JetBlue (direct flights to Orlando from Syracuse) now have their schedules out through the end of April. A good choice, often at a better price than the Ottawa options, though the Westjet seat sale rates have been so good lately, there has not been much of a compelling reason to drive to Syracuse... still, it's a good option to consider...


End of post

Another Westjet Seat Sale - includes Orlando...

For those Canadians that like to fly with friendly Westjet, they just announced another 48 hour seat sale for the fall - price are pretty decent too...

UPDATE (1st Sept)
This seat sale is now over, though there are still quite a number of "seat-sale" fares still in the system, so it's still worth checking...

UPDATE (9th Sept)
Another seat sale - including Orlando - just announced. Prices from $145 (plus tax) each way from Ottawa!
