Canadians are paying sky-high prices for flights
Canadians are paying sky-high prices for flights.
For most Canadians, flying from one corner of their country to the other can be a pricey endeavour – so expensive, in fact, that they could fly to Europe or Asia for nearly the same price.
Online travel agency Kiwi noted in its 2017 flight price index that Canadians pay more than twice the price Americans do for similar-distance domestic flights.
On Friday, the cheapest Air Canada return fare from Montreal to Vancouver on 1-8 September cost C$759 (US$580); for just C$79 more on the same dates, one could fly from Montreal to Paris instead.
