Flight Help!

Hey up,

I'm in need of some help with a flight from either Leeds or Manchester to Vancouver. I hope to go for some time around the 4th of August and come back on the 18th. Everywhere I look seems really overpriced coming in at £650-£1200. Is there anyone out there that could help me as I'm on a £300-£500 budget :S.

Thanks

Loz

    I'm sorry if its not what you want to hear but why do you think £650 + is overpriced for flying to the Pacific coast of Canada in high season?

    The cheapest I can find is with Canadian Affair using Thomas Cook Airlines, from 8-22 Aug for £578.

    You picked summer high season, all prices are high, Canadian affair have seats out 8th back 22nd ex Manchester £578, flights are with Thomas Cook Airlines, of the £578, £148 is taxes and charges.

    £300-500 would be out of season flights, but even then with the fuel prices, you would be hard pressed to find them.

    Hmmm seem's like I've picked a bad time lol. What would the prices be like for July time? Is that classed as out of season? Thanks for the help peeps :).

    Never mind, your budget is more than adequate to get as far as Morecambe.
