Thanks OP.

$95.90 after taxes roundtrip.. the math is so wrong. Much better than driving for some.

[jackass_ca]

I got this email too, would've posted but was too busy trying to ascertain what the taxes would bring it to!

At least they allow you to pay this in the ticket now, Moncton used to be a payment before you walked through security, they got with the times and now it's included in the price.
However, as I have always said, shouldn't the airlines be the ones improving the Airports? After all, it is them doing business in them!

[raccoon]

waiting ac to match

[Ohboiya]

sweet!

[GeneralDisaray]

$115 roundtrip to mtl...not bad at all!

[colllyj]

thanks OP.

has anyone booked anything for this weekend? seems like anything for this weekend is regular price.

if you booked anything for this wknd, please post
thanks.

[webworm]

You can also use the 10% off Promo Code WJCIS10 for additional 10% off so Toronto-Ottawa is $94.02 including all taxes etc etc.

[revlis]

This may be the first "HOT" deal I've ever seen for Canadian airline. Nice post.

[jl319]

WTH is a seat fee... I love how they pick any word and chuck the word fee on it...

[Jai_Ho]

thx. will check this out.

[Kate M]

Great deal -- posted, thanks!

[fruchick]

Christ, could've saved $150 on my trip to Montreal next week if I'd waited. Always get punished for planning in advice.

[RTM]

Great deal to Toronto from Montreal :) Thanks for sharing!

[RonPaul]

Sorry but this is sleezy
it's still somewhat a good price

but to market it as $9 and then it skyrockets to $60 almost, that's just sleezy!

It's offensive!

[Tristen]

Still seems like a great deal even though the rest of the charges are almost $100 in taxes, fees and surcharges for one person. I booked a flight in August anyway so now it's just time to find a room. Thanks, OP.

[duttypersian]

notice how you are allowed to leave friday night at 9$ but you have to pay 140$ on the way back sunday? so I have to lose one days work so that I can fly back on monday at 9$...

my salary is more important that a 90$ rebate....

[zafarjamal]

Ok wow ....
All 3 cities on westjet ... $8.10 each way when you use the "WJCIS10" promo code ($9 each way without)

Just booked for $226 tax in for 2 ppl!

[marklin]

This reminds me of last year's (or the year before) $11 deal, AC matched WJ's price, after taking out discounts such as no cancellation, no checked baggage and no aeroplan points, you literally get paid to fly :cheesygri (before taxes and fees of course)

[Jeff146]

Only today and the deals aren't too bad ... Of course you would need to pay for tax and stuff.

Toronto to Ottawa or Montréal $9
Montréal to Toronto $9
Ottawa to Toronto $9

I had booked a round trip from Vancouver and Calgary leaving on Thursday and returning on Monday morning during last week's sale, and right now the Vancouver to Calgary flight is more expensive by $90, but the return flight is cheaper by $14.

[SunnyVegas]

Pretty HOT deal I must say even with taxes.

Why is it deceptive? The ad says it is not available on all flights. Just because it doesnt meet your schedule, doesnt make it deceptive.

[fiscal-rick]

Thanks OP. I just booked a flight Ottawa Toronto on a weekend in Aug. used the promo code WJCIS10 for an additional savings total came to $94

The only problem is that I could not get a flight out on Sunday any later than 9am. Gonna have to pull an all nighter!

How much after all fees are added for YYZ to MTL both ways?

Check Post# 4 or go to the website and plug in your cities to find out.

[shoppingmama]

So where are the deals to the US?

[zafarjamal]

here is hoping that porter matches ....

last sept westjet did the $9 fare and by mid afternoon porter had slashed their rate ....

westjet has the 24hr refund period ....
fingers crossed!

It's offensive!

I'd normally agree with you, but in this case, all of the other amounts that make up the rest of the $50+ are fees and taxes which are imposed on the airlines and which they can't control. The $9 that they do see doesn't even pay for the fuel, let alone the staff and equipment.

When you think about it, do you really think that, other than a contest, you could get from Montreal to Toronto in under 2 hours for less than $100?

I suppose they could market it for $60, but that would lessen the transparency of all of the parts of the fare. Don't you think that more information is better (at least you have the option of knowing it or tossing it)?

If you still feel this way, you should also be offended at FS's (or any other retailer really) advertising a TV for the price of $499 when it should be $720 to account for the tax, environmental levy, and shipping costs.

But when it comes down to it, $9 fare or $60 total, it's a steal of a price.

[gucci17]

Promo code doesn't seem to be working anymore.

Also, I can't seem to get $9 for departure anymore. The lowest there is, is $39 within 28 days.

Is it just me? or is anyone else experiencing this as well?

I would like to take a plane to montreal instead of driving down there. :mad:

*Edit* Sorry, I just tried again and the only date was July 26th for $9 departure.

Almost but not quite. Of the $59.50 total cost from Toronto to Montreal, the $25 AIF (Airport Improvement Fee) and $4.67 ATSC (Air Traveller's Security Charge) are airport imposed. West Jet has no choice but to charge this. However, the $18 Nav-Ins fee is an Airline surchage and pays for things like Insurance costs or anything else West Jet wishes. The rest are the regulart GST/PST taxes.

And a round trip to Montreal from Toronto is $115 with this deal, not less than $100.

That said, anyone who does not think this is an excellent deal for air travel is smoking crack ;)

Edit: And what's with people stressing over saving 10% off a $9 ticket? That's 90 cents people! Talk about obsessive...

[MonkeyLoveDeals]

Thanks OP - just booked OTT to TO for $47 one way (incl everything) in Sept!
