Weekly Roundup - July 9

It's a LONG one this week! To summarize.. airfare to Canada is expensive, but cheap to lots of other places (Barcelona, Ireland, Cancun, Las Vegas, Istanbul, Moscow, Brazil/Argentina), and there are a ton of hotel deals and a few cruise deals. Pick your pleasure :)

Time to use those air miles! If you're wanting to travel across Canada now is a VERY good time to consider cashing in those frequent flyer miles! Except for the Sunwing sale that ends tomorrow, fares to places like Toronto and Halifax have very rarely been higher than they are now (surprisingly).

Prices are much better to other places, though, such as the low fare to Cancun from Vancouver that I stumbled upon (even AirfareWatchdog hasn't caught on to that one!). There could be many other destinations as part of that sale so scroll on down and check it out.

Don't wait to book - the experts say prices are on their way up.
