I read this whole string, but I somehow missed the idea of booking different dates for the hotel - way to work it! Had I maxed this out I could have saved C$50. Still, I just can't begrudge that extra money.
First, huge snaps to the OP for this. I feel lucky to have been able to jump on the deal. Thank you!
I booked SEA-LAS for three nights over Christmas for me and mom. I'm unwilling to put mom through connecting flights for such a short distance, so the best I could do was $120/each for flights. Then I got us two rooms at the Hilton (again, wish I could have gone for the Wynn or something, but the Christmas dates blew up the prices). All in, it is C$290 for 2 RT tix, 6 hotel nights. With my free Gold breakfasts and Internet, this is pretty fabulous for us. But compared to the rest of you, I'm feeling like I still spent a lot of cash.
Do I really max this out and do a 5th booking to get discounted tickets to Love?
