    Going to try go via Dublin-London-Calgary though depends on the prices by the weekend they be getting more expensive all the time :/ if not one of USA routes though there a pain with the paperwork but sure as long get there in one piece all good.

    Who/who did you book this through?
    We will be going to either Edmonton or Saskatoon, though Saskatoon seems to be far more expensive to fly into despite being marginally closer to the East coast, & thus a shorter trip.
    We will go early July but prices I've seen are a good bit higher - maybe it's just about the specific dates to travel?
