Until about a few years ago, all inclusive packages used to start around CAD600 per person from YVR, which includes air, lodging, food and drinks. Since 2 years or so, it went up skyrocket, now I cannot find anything under CAD900.
Air only starts around CAD500, and it's been always around this price range. In the past, almost everybody chose all inclusive packages, including myself, because the price difference between air only and package was so miniscule.
As I wrote previously, I've been looking to burn DL Skymiles (maybe from other programs as well) and USD100 voucher, I thought Cuba would be a good destination as USA carriers started flying there, now it doesn't look like it.
