Here is a great example of a cheaper fare from Edmonton.
Edm to Maui on AIr Canada thru Calgary (one way) $249.00 for Nov 19 departure.
Same flight if you took from Calgary to Maui (Direct now of course) $519.00 Nov 19 departure.
You are on the same plane from Calgary but its $270.00 dollars cheaper if booked thru Edmonton...There has to be some reversal of driving up Hwy #2 for that one if you have 4 adults going!!Its Calgary driving to YEG to take advanage of a fare!!!
@BubblesLouis> Its quite straight forward what "Unite for more flights" means and yes they could put that symbol in any US airport without a rebellion including SFO which I have been thru multiple times....Its a fist not a Soviet Hammer and Sickle on a red flag...Only someone with a small prefrontal cortex would post that shiza below..
UNITE FOR MORE FLIGHTS??? What does that mean? I have to fly into that airport this summer. Sorry, Canada, you wouldn't get away with putting a 15 ft blue fist like that in an American Airport (especially San Francisco). It’s so kinky. It’s also soooo gansta'. Actually it looks like a bad 1923 Communist Soviet symbol. A white brick wall with a blue fist and green airplanes farting out of it? (Their website) What a bunch of dweebs.
I only fly from EIA..No need for this silly driving around the country wasting expensive gas to find a cheaper fare and then driving back after your flight...No thanks...Not gonna happen...That's just buffoonery extraordinaire.
Come on guys couldn't you have done it when I was there! Looked like fun!
Our Airport is great and getting better soon with the new gates and hotel..
As far as people travelling to Calgary or even !Kalispell Montana!! (Thats Buffoonery) to save a few perceived bucks..Well it just dosen't add up at all.The price of fuel to drive there and time involved adds up to no savings if there even was one to begin with.
I just booked a flight to SNA and it was cheaper from YEG! What Calgary Advantage
Ya as if the CEOs' of United, Delta, WJ, AC are now suddenly going to add more flights to EIA. It would be nice..but unfortunately it won't happen and a flash mob won't help. Maybe adding public transport to and from the airport would be a start or reducing the huge parking rates...
If you want to go anywhere now days you have to transfer through a HUB city (Toronto, Vancouver or Calgary). Edmonton is too small of a market to be a HUB for airlines.
@impressivetravels Those CEOs are not the target for this flash mob or other marketing events. The citizens of Edmonton are. If we respond to this campaign, then those CEOs will respond to us.
So the more flights will happen if we show them the numbers. If you keep boosting Calgary's numbers all you're doing is inviting more flights to and from Calgary.
I am from this city yes. And I fly out of Edmonton all the time. If it is cheaper why not fly out of Calgary.I would do it myself. Money is money. Why spend more if you can save it. The Government needs to play a bigger role to get flights here not just Edmontontians to fill that void. The government has access to much more resources than we common folk do and they can push harder for us. But they don't . Maybe our Prime Minister wants to keep it in Calgary!

Nice effort but I will still drive to Calgary or Kalispell, MT to save on huge fares we face at EIA.
