New Leaf Airlines launches, offering Hamilton to Kelowna flights for $298 CAD roundtrip including taxes
6
January
New Leaf, Canada's new 'low-cost model' airline officially launched today, and they've released their route map, including flights to and from Hamilton airport (YHM).
(click the image for the full size version)
From Hamilton (YHM), the available destinations are:
Halifax, Nova Scotia (YHZ) - $198 CAD roundtrip including taxes
Winnipeg, Manitoba (YWG) - $203 CAD roundtrip including taxes
Regina, Saskatchewan - $238 CAD roundtrip including taxes
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan - $238 CAD roundtrip including taxes
Kelowna, BC - $298 CAD roundtrip including taxes
How does this compare to what the Air Canada / WestJet duopoly typically offer?
To Halifax, it's about 40% below the typical price of $350 roundtrip.
To Winnipeg, it's about 45% below the typical price of $375 roundtrip.
To Regina & Saskatoon, it's about 45% below the typical price of $440 roundtrip.
To Kelowna, BC it's about 45% below the typical price of $525 roundtrip.
Keep in mind though that New Leaf's low cost model is similar to what you find in Europe, meaning their prices include just the seat on the plane and a small carry-on item, and everything else (absolutely everything) costs extra.
Seats can (hopefully soon) be booked at www.flynewleaf.ca - and they begin flying on February 12, 2016.
NOTE: So far, I haven't been able to locate any fares to or from Hamilton in the New Leaf system, other than to Winnipeg. Their Facebook and Twitter page suggests that nobody else can either. Departures from other cities on their route map are working. Presumably other destinations will soon be loaded into their system.
