No problem..anytime....I'm happy to help

To be informed is to know that the place you are referring to is called Quebec City and not Quebec...that is a province.

It is the same as referring to the Dominican Republic as "the Dominican".

the only difference is that the general public doesn't refer to Quebec City as Quebec.

Maybe it's cheaper to fly to New York and then on to Montreal or Quebec.

We do refer to it as Quebec in French so I am assuming since AZB's friend is French Canadian that she would just say Quebec since this is what we do.

Yeah he's looking for a cheap $400 flight to Montreal or Quebec city. Last time I came home on a flight only, one way for $400 was 1999 and that was to Toronto.

In June my return airfare was $438.60 CA with all the taxes (a 50% one day only sale). You have to subscribe to their email notifications to get the deals.

Maybe it's possible to find a super cheap AI deal from Quebec to POP and check in for a week at the Fun Royale and fly home to Quebec on the return portion for the same price as the airfare only... just wondering.... and bored out of my mind.

maybe you are right...its really hot & muggy in Canada today.

please accept my apologies...Ive never heard it referred to that way before but i guess everyone shortens everything these days!

soon it will be just initials for everything just like the kids use in their txt msg's...i mean text messages

good luck finding a good deal on a ticket for your friend

Wow that was a good deal Margaret even for a one way. I wonder if they cut down on the number of flights once we get into summer though. I was looking but don't see anything that cheap to Canada right now.
