if you book coach canada, you might get discounts

worse case, its $55 each way. best case $25 each way

train is $100+ each way
same with flying

driving...at least u can share costs

with my saturn, Welland to QC city and back is $150 in gas

Three ideas:

1) Steal the losing horse after one of the races at Woodbine. It runs on grass (which is free) and I doubt the owner will care too much.

2) Go to Value Village and pick up a used set of rollerblades and grab onto the back of the Greyhound as it leaves the bus terminal. Don't forget to buy some duct tape so you can still hold on even when your arms get tired.

3) Bike. There are lots of these things hanging around the city just tied to things. Spend $10 on bolt cutters and away you go.

it's true I can only imagine there being a discount airline here with as competitive prices as we see in Europe but domestically... ahh maybe someday ..

with lower air taxes and landing fees @ Pearson ..

Buy a Rolls and drive to pearson and fly to montreal, then rent a car when u get to the montreal airport.

Seriously, can you do anything on your own?

Just book the flight, it cost me $493 in total. Flying off on April 30 to May 8. Now I have to book off the vacation time. LOL a little backwards I know, but u have to act fast to get these prices.

Really now, do people need their hands held to book a trip to freakin Montreal? It's not that hard you know.

Anyway, I go at least once a month and the train is the best. Via Rail supersaver fare will get you to Montreal for $60 each way. And it's downtown, so your cab fare to the hotel will be less than $10.

Sketchy drives home from Montreal are retired, it's all about the train...

It is too bad you weren't going to be there for April 30th. It is Koninginnedag (Queensday) in Holland and there are all sorts of street parties, events, etc going on there.

For the last few years I have been wanting to do this, but haven't been able to pass up my summer festivals to experience it yet.

Train

Normally the train is rather expensive. But, via-rail is having a sale for Toronto-Montreal right now and you can get a train to Montreal for $59 dollars per way.

for more details click here

Coach Canada is also having a seat sale. If you book early / on the right day you can get it for as cheap as $10 dollars per way. In reality - the cheapest tickets tend to already be booked, so you're more likely looking at around $20-$80 per way depending on what day and how many seats are already sold.

I also book Via for the Canada Day long weekend. Leaveing on Friday so maybe it cost a little extra, but a round trip with tax cost me 153 on the supersaver, but u have to boook early.
