Air Canada’s online booking system has always come up with some very strange results for me, and this time was no better.
I was looking for flights from Toronto to Vancouver in July and the result was $760 for Tango return. That means I’d have to spend an extra $22 (each way) if I wanted to pre-select my seats.
So I headed over to Westjet: with their seat sale prices it came to $730. Pre-selecting seats also cost extra here, though I could select them using online check in 24 hours ahead of the flight.
Then, just for giggles, I checked out flights from Toronto to Seattle during the same time period.
I stopped laughing fast.
Return airfare: $560. That’s Canadian not US (just in case you were asking). That is also for Tango Plus – so I can select my seats at time of booking.
Weirdest thing? The flight is from Toronto to Vancouver (yes, actually, they were the exact same flights I had looked at earlier); where I would have to change planes for flight to Seattle (same deal on return).
Am I the only one this doesn’t make sense to?
