  • hey all,

    I have been lacklustre in planning out an upcoming YYZ-OTP MR; and as such need to find the best way to get to YYZ from YUL;

    amny suggestions would be welcome;

    TIA...!!!


  • Oh for crying out loud, just take the train. Doesn't it defeat the purpose of a 'mileage run' if you're paying 400$ (or 15k points) for a <500-mile hop to the starting point ?

    I believe YOWkid was referring to the 11 $ / 29 $ Tango fares which were around a couple of weeks ago, and which worked out to less than 100 $ for a r/t after taxes. Don't know if there are any of those still out there...


  • Tango fare if you can still find one for $30 or so...

    i have booked a tango fare but total cost with taxes is 384, is 30$ the service fee (20$) u r referring to..?

    TIA

    EDIT: a question to the powers that be on this board; whats wiser; a paid for tkt at 384$ or using 15,000 aeroplan points..? I have the option since i found some seats in the time frame that interests me...

    EDIT2: i see that the fees for an aeroplan tkt are 94$; methinks better to pay 384 n use the points for next time..!!

    Here, here, a voice of sanity! And the OP now indicates he's already spent another $380+ for a TANGO fare, so what's going on? With all the VIA promos he could get from Toronto to Dorval for just over $100 return, not lose any AE miles and return the MR to being a cost-effective exercise. (Of course, VIA is subject to native protests shutting down its main line...)

    the voice(s) of sanity have prevailed; and this trip has been put on the backburner for now;

    Thank God for my fellow FT'ers who put this whole exercise in perspective..!!
