    Just seen amazingly cheap prices on this site, just use the link to get the dates and airlines, then follow thru to official airline website to book.

    Bagged myself Shannon to Vancouver for €280 return in October, Aer Lingus to Heathrow and then Air Canada non-stop to Vancouver included a checked bag, seems to be loads of dates available so might be of use to someone out there and definetly a bargain!!!

    I just got the dates off the link and then used the Air Canada site to book from Shannon

    Just out of interest I tried Toronto for couple of dates in October. 330 return. Outbound via Frankfurt and inbound via Heathrow.

    Think the Vancouver flights are via Heathrow too.

    Never booked through secret flying before, anyone know how long this deal is likely to last? As I won't be able to afford it for another couple of days.

    Great find

    I recommend using secretflying just to get the dates and airlines of what flight suits you then going to the actual airlines webpage to book.

    That's what I did anyway and went to the Air Canada website and prices were the same as the dates off secretflying. Some of the booking agents on secretflying have terrible reviews so much safer to use the actual airline itself to book

    Which dates did you use to get air Canada flights? A lot of the dates seem to be AA on the LHR-YVR route

    Literally home from SE Asia for 270 quid and this pops up yesterday on SF.

    Rang the lads, and said "I've done it again, fancy Vancouver this time around?"

    No x 3.

    Am I bad company, or am I bad for people's bank accounts??!?!

    Remember to sign up to OneWorld or whatever Air Canada use... I've flown many thousands of miles over the years and only signed up this year for the Etihad scheme for my flight to Malaysia / Indonesia.

    Received points back for the flights but also a few extra because there was a slight flight delay. €75 worth of airmiles which I can use to buy €75 worth of vouchers or other stuff.

    I'm dreading to think how much I could have earned over 15 years of flying to far-flung destinations :(

    Thanks! I'm going to Vancouver,!
    I'm bringing the mot tho, it'll make up.for the Asus zenbook and the monitor audio silver speakers from richer sounds.
    Damn you BA!!

    Seems perfectly legit. Received booking confirmation immediately including a booking reference code that worked on British Airways website and lists all my DUB>LHR>YVR flights and back.

    How about seat choice? when do you get to choose your seats?

    Once you login you'll have the option to prebook your seat for a fee. Check in will give you a very limited selection to choose from online.

    Your best bet is when you get into T2 IN LHR, transfer to T5 to a BA Ticketing Desk, and they'll be able to give you the best option if you don't want to pay a fee.

    We travelled in a group of 4 who all booked separately, and while EI in Shannon did their best to sort us out, BA have naturally way more access.

    To everyone panicking, these normally work out.
    You will spend the next 10 months checking if the flights are still there.
    It will eventually happen.

    Maybe try yourself. Turn your screen upside down and type Dublin to Vancouver.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,417 ✭✭✭✭vicwatson


    Is it possible that a party of 4 will be split around the aircraft seating wise?

    Its possible. I think BA online check in is 30 hours prior to flight so the earlier you check in after window opens the better chances you have. You could ask them nicely at Irish airport when you check your bags in if you arent seated close enough.
