Likelihood of Air Canada or Westjet putting on a seat sale in April?
Does anyone know the likelihood of Air Canada or Westjet putting on a seat sale in April?
I was looking to fly from Edmonton to Paris in July and would really rather not pay full price. Right now tickets are hovering around $1300

Agreed. Flights to Europe in the middle of July are not going to get any cheaper. And though $1300 is extortion, it’s comparitively a decent deal compared to what you might pay if you wait.
If if you’re traveling with someone else maybe get the WestJet rbc card and use your companion flight to LGW. Other than that, I don’t know of any way you’re going to save much money vs the prices you’re seeing right now.

Agreed with the posters above that we get close to summer (peak season for economy leisure travel to Europe), prices are only likely to go up. Have you looked to see if there are cheaper fares connecting through the US?

+1. A Y sale is not impossible but quite unlikely, usually depends on predicted load factors and advance sales. With a strong Euro (vs CAD) this may entice a few more Europeans to visit Canada this summer... From time to time, there has been a J sale in April or May - but not always.

!. It's 10% off base fare. Not 10% of the price. That matters based on the destination

3. Also note the "Book By" info. Above it shows 11:59 PM MDT
Below, it says "11:59 PM from your city of departure in Canada"
