Let's pool our resources to find cheaper ways to travel
Sometimes the cost of airfare just doesn't add up. Our goal is to help offer tips and resources to find cheaper airfare. Keep in mind that MontrealVIP does not book commercial airfare. Our only goal is to help you and your group find affordable airfare. So our invitation goes out to everyone, in every city, to pool resources and knowledge on how to get great airfare rates.

A friend mentioned Porter Airlines for people travelling between Ottawa - Montreal - Toronto.

The "firm pass" offers 10 one-way flights between these cities for $1050.

fly porter proposes round trip airfare from Montreal - Toronto at $60, so that is a good thing to know.

Private jets might be cheaper than you think. Catching an empty leg and sharing the cost amongst your group can be comparable in price to first class, and is truly a lifetime experience.

Another option is finding tour operators that have wholesale rates with the carriers. Often, when the date approaches and they haven't sold their seats, they will drop prices to liquidate them.

Expedia , Tavelocity , Orbitz don't always have good deals, seems at though when it comes to airfare, they sell them at the airline rates.
