From the Tarmac

It was about a month ago when Canadians got some excellent news from WestJet—that the low-cost carrier would begin flying nonstop from Toronto to Bermuda effective May 2010, with one-way flights as low as $129. Those who were paying attention—or perhaps, following WestJet on Twitter—heard about the airline’s one-day sale yesterday, when it slashed fares in half, making a roundtrip flight to Bermuda about $170 with taxes. That deal is unfortunately over, but the good news is there are more cheap flights on the way, this time for everyone in Baltimore, Washington D.C. and Philadelphia. That’s right folks, USA3000 is back. According to USA Today, the charter and discount airline is ramping up its seasonal service to Bermuda, with twice-weekly flights from Baltimore’s BWI and Philadelphia International beginning June 11th. Considering one-way flights will be as low as $99 this summer, there’s really no good reason not to plan Bermuda getaway. But don’t wait too long: The fair weather flier will only be operating from the two east coast gateways through August 16th. Happy jetting!

From the Tarmac

Last week I told you about a great deal from WestJet, a Canadian airline that will begin flying nonstop from Toronto to Bermuda at super low prices. How low you ask? As little as $129 each way beginning on May 3, a fare I found easily by searching on its website. Today there’s more good news from the tarmac, but this time it’s for all you islanders out there. That’s right Bermuda, this one’s for you. Feel like going to Europe? Then check out this massive seat sale from British Airways: From today through February 16, the trans-Atlantic carrier will be selling fares from Bermuda to London for as little as $150 each way. That means a roundtrip ticket to the UK costs $300 plus taxes and fees, which clock in at $353.94 for a total of $653.94. Sure, it’s unfortunate to have to pay more for the taxes than for the ticket but such is the state of modern aviation. Bottom line, it’s still one whopper of a deal, but you’ve gotta act fast: The sale lasts until February 16 and is valid for travel from that date through March 28. Happy jetting Bermuda!
