    Largely has to do with how expensive it is to fly within Canada. Attempted to book flights from Edmonton -> Toronto recently, $800 round trip for a no frills flight aside from a carry on bag.

    Granted this price surge is directly related to Trump, but it’s generally more expensive to fly within Canada

        Yup it’s completely fucked. That’s what happens when you’ve got 2 national airlines and effectively zero outside competition

      Yeah flights are tricky, you have to watch for cheap days now that Swoop is gone. With swoop I had $69 from Westcoast to Toronto, and a $15 return ticket plus the Toronto improvement fee. But now with Westjet the best Ive had is $200 each way
