What's up? Transat dropping MBJ from Winnipeg, WestJet not scheduling any direct flights from Saskatchewan.....it's really annoying the amount of flights and charters to Mexico and we're struggling to get to Jamaica - not fair!!! I suppose Transat dropped Winnipeg b/c WestJet's doing it (and I think AC??) and WestJet's not doing SK because Transat & Sunwing are. Not impressed though b/c they both are only offering flights in high season, so we typically get taken to the cleaners for both flights and high season hotel prices.

I've been checking flight prices for several months for my dates....WestJet's prices have pretty much always been higher than AC's - sometimes by $200 pp or more. Add in the fact that to fly east or sun destinations, we typically have to fly west first to Calgary or Edmonton, sometimes even Vancouver, I'm just not too impressed. Especially considering their name, WESTJet, you'd think they'd look after their own (I guess they are, Calgary/Edmonton). Nothing personal against SK, I'm sure, it's all about numbers and money. Just seems funny because Saskatoon is booming (and a lot of people from Alberta have been moving here over the last few years).
I love living in western Canada, but you easterners have got it made as far as flights!
