UL: CMB-HRI around 14$
Hi, I recently found the o/w flight from CMB-HRI for around 14$ minus cashback for some OTAs....
I know it is not a big flight, but yet a good fare for Sri Lanka, where domestic flights are usually super pricy. As UL also has some MLE-CMB-HRI connections it might has the potential to build sth out of it.
Apart from that I am wondering if some of you guys got any idea how to book a flight to KDZ for instance, which is usually Cinnamon Air, but which when directly booked is ridiculous in price...
cheers..

YKF (Waterloo Regional Airport) to various American cities via AA (all fly through ORD) has dropped in price. Could it be because YKF is now included under YTO (Toronto) and now gets Toronto (YTO) fares? Not worth driving from Toronto to Kitchener for, but definitely worth it for anyone living near YKF. Don't think we've ever had the benefit of YYZ pricing before.
All prices are listed in CAD.
$275 RT a.i. to ORD (Chicago) $275 with specific dates in July, most of August and virtually all of September and October (sample: Sept 18 - 25)
$313 RT a.i. to PBI (West Palm Beach, FL)
$335 RT a.i. to DFW (Dallas Fort-Worth)
$375 RT a.i. to MIA (Miami)
$421 RT a.i. to SEA (Seattle) September through until May
$581 RT a.i. to PTY (Panama City)
$421 RT a.i. to SFO (San Fransisco)
$~777 RT a.i. to Venice
$~850 RT a.i. to LIS (Lisbon, Portugal) various dates starting mid-October through December
