Booked a Thanksgiving weekend last week YYZ-YYC out Oct 10 back Oct 15. After checking out WS ($775) and Tango ($580), I had a look at AC -- $508 for an L fare.

Seat sale to the rescue. Moral: you don't always pay more for your meal and movie (or an evening westbound flight).

Another moral - AC doesn't know how to implement a brand strategy. There's nothing wrong with multi-branding if you create clear market positions for each brand and have the discipline to stick to them. AC isn't doing that with Tango/mainline/Zippity etc.
