"World's Largest Cruise Sale"
Cruise lines are really hungry for passengers and October is a great time to get a deal on a cruise. This year seems especially good since so many Americans will not be travelling in the near-future. The absolute best deals will be offered only on Thursday, Oct 16th, but the sale will continue thru Saturday, Oct 18th. See all the deals at Cruise411.
Fare Flash - Toronto
$139 OW -- Air Canada Seat Sale
Air Canada has seats for travel between Vancouver and Toronto starting at only $139 OW, for travel thru Dec 17. I just priced a trip for the Rememberance Day weekend, and while you have to take early or late flights to get the best price, the total is only $408 after all taxes and fees. The advertised sales don't mention these lower prices, so input your dates and cities to see what you can get. Other cities are likely offered at low prices as well.
