If you're looking to visit a new Canadian city outside of B.C. this summer, Montreal offers a range of activities for people and families of all ages.
And while flights to Quebec's largest city usually come with a steep price tag, one of Canada's discount carriers offers return tickets for a steal.
As long as everything goes according to plan, B.C. residents may enjoy cross-country travel beginning Canada Day (July 1). Flair Airlines has unveiled several ultra-low fares across B.C. and Canada as it encourages travellers to revisit the skies once again.
While there are numerous cheap flights to choose from, a couple of tickets from Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»to Montreal are hard to beat. While it costs a bit more to book direct, if you are comfortable with booking your ticket through a third-party supplier you can save even more money.
A European travel agency called eDreams offers a return ticket to "the city of saints" from Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»for a jaw-dropping $104.45 CAD fare including tax.
You can by selecting Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»(YVR) and Montreal (YUL) with the departure date as Nov. 1 and the return date of Nov. 9.
Of course, third-party suppliers have their own rules — so don't skip the fine print on this purchase. The advantage of booking direct is that you don't have to go through anyone to make changes to your ticket. However, booking travel insurance will also come in handy should you need to make changes due to unforeseen circumstances.

With the same dates, the discount carrier offers a return ticket for $178.33. You can book with them .
