^ Alaska does the same thing. Just select fare calendar when looking for tickets. You can find days that are discounted 50%. If I were in the bus a Allegiant feeder route from Vic would seem to make sense to me from Vic. I mean we ar doing this from Victoria to Sea and YVR why not to Bellingham. Let alone the fact that Bellingham is a really nice city with some great stuff to do around it.

While I am on it. Why there is not a Sidney to Bellingham Passenger ferry is beyond me as well. We seem to treat one of our closest geographic neighbours as if it does not exist!

Some good points here to be sure; on a postive note re: YYJ one nice charter option for those heading to the Mayan particularly, where we're headed also in March, is the CanJet direct flight option to Cancun. Nice not having to dog-leg via Calgary or Edmonton. Also CanJet's departure/arrival times are some of the best in the industry.

Quote: In March I am travelling with my sister's family to Oahu. They are driving down from Qualicum, taking the ferry from Nanaimo to Tsawassen and then driving to Seattle the night before our Hawaiian Air flight. (Flights from YVR to HON are much more expensive and don't arrive at convenient times). I had originally planned to fly YYJ - SEA on Horizon, but the quotes on the return flight were going to be more than the cost of a return flight from SEA to Honolulu. This seemed outrageous to me. I will now be taking the ferry from Swartz Bay to Tsawassen and joining my sister's family for their drive to Seattle. 2 nights in an airport hotel before/after the Hawaii flights is substantially cheaper than flying YYJ-SEA return.

Quote: You can do Kenmore Air from the Inner Harbour direct to Sea-Tac for less than $300 - in 2 hours.

Kenmore also accepts Alaska Airmiles and the cost to fly to Seattle is like 10k miles which is pretty good!
