fare question - wait or buy

Hi,

I don't have much knowledge on Canadian domestic fare so I am looking for some help here.

Traveling the following routes:

Aug 1 YYZ-YYC leave early AM
Aug 5 YYC-YVR leave early AM
Aug 7 YVR-YYZ

Fare was $770 yesterday, I was about to buy it but then found out WJ doesn’t allow multi-segment booking online?! got busy and didn't call them. So I checked the price again and it went up to $930! My question is based on your experience with WJ and Canadian domestic airlines in general, is this considered normal in early August, and should I pull the trigger or wait for awhile? Many thanks

There is a seat sale today. Check it out. AC and WJ are price matching.

I wouldn't wait too long as Aug. 1st is a civic holiday for much of the country, meaning folks will be on the move in the iddle of what normally is a busier domestic travel time with school out. Just MHO.
