BUDGET TRAVELER

American to Toronto for $296 round-trip inclusive

For The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Tuesday, December 02, 2008

For some odd and unknown reasons, deals to Canada from the United States were just about non-existent during this entire year. Certainly there were the occasional sale offer, but the discounts were often never greater than ten percent off of regularly published rates. A smart budget traveler would do better bidding for a ticket at Priceline.com.

But there’s a very special today-only rate from American to Toronto, Ontario - one of the most vibrant and cosmopolitan cities in the world. Home to over 2.5 million residents, this safe city is a mecca of culture, recreation and green spaces located on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario. It’s an ideal city for a weekend getaway for friends, families and couples seeking a little international flair with an exquisite choice of dining and fun.
