My ticket is bought and it wasn't cheap (looking forward to flying AC -- I'm curious about it). Another friend of mine is having a heck of a time trying to find a reasonable fare between DCA/BWI and YYZ (I actually found a ~$309 R/T itinerary). Maybe AC doesn't want us going to Canada?
Y'u sure, u ain't coming to YUL to attend the Jazz Fest
Flights in this particular part are pretty expensive. I have a relative who is coming at the same time ( she is coming to spend Canada Day here instead of partaking some burgers and canadian beer at the CDN embassy) and she has paid $US 596.44 for DCA-YUL-DCA.
There are a couple of threads on this particular subject in this forum.
