Talking Cheapoair.com?

I found an interesting site with links to some very inexpensive flights at chepoair.com
Airline Tickets, Cheap Flights, Cheap Plane Tickets, Hotels, Car Rentals - CheapOair

I found a westjet flight for 2 weeks in mid July from Toronto to Puerto Plata for $559.08 USD (575.52 CAD)


1 Adult








Base Price: 428.00




Taxes & Fees: 131.08
TOTAL $559.08

The westjet site had it priced at $913.60 CAD

WestJet - Low air fares and the best service across North America and to the Caribbean

Price Summary Departing:

Airfare / Guest
Regular Fare
$319.00 CAD

Taxes, Fees & Surcharges /
Guest (details)
$129.30 CAD

Subtotal / Guest
$448.30 CAD

Returning:

Airfare / Guest
Regular Fare
$359.00 CAD

Taxes, Fees & Surcharges /
Guest (details)
$106.30 CAD

Subtotal / Guest
$465.30 CAD

Total Cost of Flight
$913.60 CAD

Making Cheapoair $338.08 CAD cheaper for the flight than Westjet itself!

onetravel.com also matched the price.

I originally got to these sites thru
Discount Airline Tickets, Affordable Flights, & Low-Cost Airfare from Travelzoo SuperSearch

Talking

These are by far the cheapest fares I have found for this time period, direct or with layovers.

...but enough talking to myself

It's a new record.
4 posts in a row, talking to yourself.

Hey, I thought it was a joke.
Cheapoair...
What are the odds of a company actually using that name?
Sounds like something out of a Roadrunner cartoon.

Anyhow, it's good to hear that you'll be down soon.
Bring me a case of maple syrup, please.

If I bring Maple Syrup I'll have to bring enough for Hillbilly too

Unfortunately, since I'm a carry on only kind of guy, a case won't work, but a bottle or two...

The name, cheapoair, turned me off initially until I realized just how cheapo they really were

They're for real and are on my short list for cheap flights from now on!

In all fairness, until I reach or surpass HB's weight, I need the syrup more than he does.......

WHAAAAT??? NO WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. However, in the face of all the favors you have done me, I will gladly cede you any MS on this trip. At those prices, he can afford to travel more often...
