Cost of departing from Toronto vs. departing from Buffalo, N.Y.
A week-long trip for a family of four leaving in early January would cost CDN$1,900 through a Canadian airline departing from Toronto’s Pearson Airport. From Buffalo the same vacation flights will cost $2,022, so no savings there. Still, if you’re willing to fly out at off-peak hours you can find U.S. deals. For instance, a family of four can fly for $810 on a non-stop flight from Spirit Airlines—saving about $1,100. The catch? Departure time is 2 a.m., with the return flight leaving at 10:15 pm.Destination: Las Vegas
Cost of departing from Vancouver vs. departing from Seattle, Wash.
From Vancouver, a flight to Las Vegas would cost a family of four $1,700, and arrival and departure times work well with kids’ sleep schedules. But you won’t save money by departing from Seattle. Using Priceline.com or Kayak.com, this round-trip vacation costs $2,022—or $322 more. Still, if you opt for flights with late-night travel times, you can shave as much as $790 off the total price.The verdict:
You can still save by departing from the U.S.—but only if you don’t mind red-eyes!Share this article Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Share on Reddit Share on Email
