Future flight bookings between Canada and the United States are down by over 70% year-over-year in the summer months. WOW.

    The girlfriend and I (both Canadian in Canada) were just planning a summer trip to Niagara Falls like 30 minutes ago. Neither of us have been. We were looking at flights and didn’t realize we were looking at flights to Niagara Falls airport in the US. We were both like “Whoa. Nope!”

    If this had been last year, we would have flown into either airport and visited both sides of the border. But there is not a chance in hell I’m crossing to the US side during this trip. I’m absolutely not taking a chance of wrecking my vacation, or weeks of my life, getting nabbed by some Nazi Ice Bro and shipped to a detention camp in Arizona.

      We unfortunately live in a country where, to travel back home to Canada, we need to stop in a US city along the way. Normally we’d make a trip out of it, but we’re trying to minimize our time in the US. First because it’s terrifying and second we don’t want to contribute to the US economy. Especially since the transit cities we need to pass-through are deeply red.

    Have we seen the Canadian airline companies jack up national flight prices like how the big grocers are jacking up Canadian product prices or nah?
