    We used Tripcentral.ca for about 1200 all in, but like everyone says in Canada most of the sites are very close in price. Would prefer Westjet as the staff and planes are better, but we are on Sunwing, maybe next year we'll do 10 days and get to choose WestJet!

    One of the best things about Cancun is the flight is so short for us in Ontario, 4 hours goes by in no time, and you can catch up on your sleep on the plane to be ready for more important things...

    We used West Jet and alpharooms and figure we've save about 900 for the 14 days.

    The last time we flew on Westjet down the Cancun we were actually cut off. LOL. We felt like reminding them that A-we are on vacation and B it's not like we're going to be driving once we get there. LOL

    Why doesn't this surprise me....LOL :ernaehrung015:
    Speaking of being cut off, we've noticed that west jet doesn't feed you and their drinks are like 6.50 ea. Now I've been wondering why can't you take your own 50ml bottles and just order pop and mix your own drinks, I've checked what you can take in your carry on and there is nothing saying that you can't as long as its under 100ml.. so we should be able to take a few each, thats my understanding anyways, anyone else have info on this.

    I think they don't allow it, probably the same reasoning that is used in bars etc. By having to buy it on the plane they get to have control and tell you that you are drunk etc. or not giving it to kids. It may suck but I do understand that line of logic. Just earmark $50 for the trip down and you should be well on your way by the time you land lol!

    Hi, I agree with what your saying and the logic however...

    Alcohol in carry-on baggage is subject to the liquid restrictions. Duty-free alcohol purchased after the security screening checkpoint can be brought in carry-on baggage, but may not be permitted if connecting to another flight, even if they are in security tamper-evident bags (STEBs).
    Exceptions: As of June 1, 2011, duty-free purchases from any of the European Union nations packaged in a security tamper-evident bag will be accepted for screening at the following airports: Toronto-Pearson, Montreal-Trudeau, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa and Halifax. Please see Duty-free purchases more information.

    Passengers may transport bottles of alcohol in their checked baggage if:
    • The percentage of alcohol by volume is 70 per cent (140 proof) or less
    • For alcoholic beverages, between 24% and 70% alcohol by volume, the quantity does not exceed 5 litres per person.
    Note: alcoholic beverages containing 24% alcohol or less are not subject to limitations on quantities.
    Containers of liquids, aerosols or gels in your carry-on must be 100 ml/100 grams (3.4 oz) or less.
    All containers must fit in 1 clear, closed, resealable plastic bag no more than 1 litre (1 quart) in capacity. The approximate dimensions of a one litre/quart bag are 15.24 cm by 22.86 cm (6 in. by 9 in.) or 20 cm by 17.5 cm (8 in. by 7 in.).
    At the screening point, take your plastic bag out of your carry-on and place it in one of the provided trays.
    Drink or discard any beverages in containers over 100 ml before pre-board security screening.
    Any containers over 100 ml should be placed in checked baggage.

    So Ive been three times in the past 7 months, booked with different tours each time. First was direct with TTR, second with Nolitours, last which I just got back was with Sunwing. All started out pretty much the same price for on average same amount of time (TTR was best when we went for two weeks).
    Lets just say, I will NEVER EVER fly with Sunwing again. They even weighed the purses which were carried on. I was charged $140 for overweight just on the way down! and they make you empty your carry on to UNDER 5kg, which if you have your laptop and other expensive stuff goes very quickly. They also took my boarding pass and refused to give it to me until I paid (also, I was pissed and argued because we paid for the two of us to fly, but then Rich met me down there on a seperate airline all together)
    I smuggled a bag on the way back, left it with someone until I was checked in, then threw it back into my almost empty carry on bag which was only 4kgs. So I got away with $60 on the way home. Sorry about rant, but i was slightly ticked and I wouldnt want that to happen to anyone else.
