Dude, check out Flight Centre. www.flightcenter.ca

Basically for round trip to Vancouver you're going to be paying about $550.

It's hard to find cheaper than that.

What he said up there, was perfectly logical. Also if you've collected airmiles, see if you have enough to make the trip that way, all you have to pay is the taxes. Another way might be to fly into the Abbotsford airport as oppose to the international airport, they don't charge you as much and usually in the general the fares are cheaper. Goodluck and maybe I will get to meet you

already hit up both.

couldn't get a straight quote from travel2000.com

flight centre has been the best so far ($602.93 tax incl.), but i know there has to be something better than that out there.

btw erik, come to their wedding in november and see if you can get us a deal since you work at the airport.

Best way to go about getting cheap flights.

Check flightcenter.ca and see what the cheapest airlines are for your destinations.

Go direct to that companies website and buy the tickets directly from them.

The thing with flight prices is they can change every day. Check the same company websites every day. If you find a price that's dropped, buy the tickets online right away.

I flew from Vancouver to Vegas. I bought my flight, checked the prices the very next day, and the prices had dropped 100$, i was kinda pissed.

Harmony Air is usually the cheapest for direct flights leaving from vancouver, but there's more competition with Vancouver to Toronto, so you might find better rates somewhere else.

honestly, you're not going to get anything cheaper then 592.. i shopped around for a while before going to TO in may and the cheapest i found was 630 for a round trip.. 592 is a really good price

Sam: I've been planning on trying to save to come out for your Wedding and possibly my Birthday as well. I just got a second job that's Part Time so I'm going to start throwing that money into a "Take me Home Fund".

Andrew: Chances of me scoring a deal domestically aren't that good. Although if I can't find space to go to Vancouver, maybe I'll send you with a Wedding Present and I'll head to St. Maarten or Jamaica instead since it'd be cheaper. :p
