Can afford Paris this summer? Who can. Round-trip airfare rates from Atlanta start at $1,900 — and there is no relief in sight that those rates will decrease.
Here’s a fun alternative, Francophiles (people who admire France, its people, and culture)! Head north to Montreal, Quebec.
A red-hot Air Canada rate of $107 one-way is offered on trips finished on or before June 26. Compare this rate to the lowest round-trip price of $580, offered by most airlines.
To qualify, give at least a two-week advance notice of travel. Trips at this rate are permitted seven days a week, based on sale seat availability.
This sale rate does not have a ticket-by date — act fast on your ticket purchases.
Air Canada serves this destination with one flight connection in Toronto.
Montreal pairs its French-inspired lifestyles with a cosmopolitan flair in its arts scene, along Parisian-inspired cafes in the Quartier Latin and hot nightlife.
From the Quays of the Old Port to Chinatown and from Little Italy to the Plateau Mont-Royal, explore this lovely city and its unique neighborhoods on foot. Or, ride the Montreal Underground Pedestrian Network, a 19-mile network of walkways, featuring 1,700 shops, restaurants and an array of services. The network connects to some 40 performance venues, theatres and cinemas, hotels, attractions and museums.

Visitors from every country arriving in Canada by air, land and sea need to present a valid passport.
Sale airfares are always subject to change. Every seat on every flight is not offered at the lowest rate. Since only a limited supply of seats is available, act quickly to make your purchase.
I recommend starting the search for available seats at Kayak.com vs. calling an airline directly. You can also search for the sale at travel websites such as Expedia, Orbitz or Travelocity, etc. Airlines can discontinue or pull a sale price without notice when the offer does not have a “ticket-by” date or when the offer is deemed “sold out.”
