A***** A***** 510 Report post Posted June 7, 2010 I can understand you being pissed , I can't see the "Yukon" , being a poplar destination . Mind you .I'd love to visit Does West Jet even go there ? Nope! Westjet doesn't, but Air Canada and Air North do. My family and friends live up there, and that is my sole reason for wanting to go home. That and get away from "the business" for a few weeks. :-? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The General 11309 Report post Posted June 7, 2010 One has to understand that pricing is based on a number of factors, including the potential sprofit. Popular destinations benefit from volume, while less popular destinations have very low chance of volume sales and therefore the pricing reflects this. So in the end, you are not paying for distance, but volume. No different than other products/services. You are going to pay more for gas, hydro, etc. in places where it takes more effort to get the services there. So, like it or not, it really is a matter of economics.

EmilyRushton 253377 Report post Posted June 7, 2010 I can fly to Vancouver for half the price of a ticket to St. John's. Considering the flights are always sold out its a bit unexplainable at times. Its like you get punished for wanting to go there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its like you get punished for wanting to go there. Sometimes the case, but they can put business people and connnecting people on the Vancouver flights and charge a premium and then will fill the rest of the seats, often at a discount, to increase the total revenue, but really get the biggest bang from the business traveller. No many business travellers going to St. John's, only vacationers and family visitors, no one prepared to pay a premium, so all pay more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
