I'm within the sale period but still can't find the fare!

Q. Today's newsletter lists a fare from Calgary to Toronto for $199 round-trip, but I can only find fares for $300 round-trip and higher. My dates fall between the sale period, so what am I doing wrong?

A. One important thing to keep in mind: Sale fares aren't necessarily available on every day of the week during a given sale period. A certain sale may begin on November 2 and end on November 12, but the actual sale fares may only be available for travel on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.

I find with Canadian Airlines, to just go to the WestJet or Air Canada sites and be flexible. WestJet has a great flexible search. And sign up for WestJet alerts (and Air Canada, but they are late out of the gate compared to WestJet) through their website. They are almost always faster and cheaper than the alerts you will receive from Airfarewatchdog.
