VIA's got several fares..... In Economy there's Escape from $49, Their 50% off stuff $69 onwards and at times 75% off last minute fares at $59.........
I priced out Via1 return to/from Ottawa from Toronto and it came to $240 a/i. That's the fare that business travellers would be considering, though the reason for the sale is because of the summer drop in business travel.
