More dirt cheap flights to/from Beefalo. There has been lots of competition on this route, with other majors in the $118 range. Monday-Saturday availability for most of the time. Jumps $20 to $118 near the end of Feb.

are there any non-golds / plats left in Buffalo?? At $104 to Vegas, 98 to PHX it wouldn't cost much!!! ... Wonder how many fellow Cdns are doing the drive-and-fly? YYZ-PHX is 5-6 times the price! Wish I was closer or SYR comes down.

I'm a lowly Silver which expires in Feb unfortunately. But... BUF-PHX looks pretty nice for $98+. Anybody find any good routing on it? PM if you'd rather not post 
Thanks

Wasnt there a stat that over 30% of BUF's customers are from Canada?
There has been much discussion of this in the AC forum.
I know I certainly rather drive to BUF, heck I took Greyhound once, it saves quite a bit of money off my holidays sometimes compared to YYZ

In addition to being impacted by price differences, I would imagine that BUF traffic will also increase with the new passport requirements for air travel. Until Jan 2008, US citizens can fly into BUF without a passport and then drive into Canada.

While thats true about most of us that realize the passport thing, lots of people think that to fly in the states and to drive across you need a passport.
As for the MRs, I'll take any MR as long as I dont have to fly on AC. Has anybody been on hold iwth them lately? The wait times have decreased... they used to be 2hrs, lately the shortest I've had was 45min. But that day by the time a rep answered their system was "down" and "wont be up" for about 2hrs, so I called back and got to hold for an hour and 10minutes.
Back to the topic, routing anybody?
