An exceptional airfare deal to Montreal, Quebec is up for grabs from Air Canada.
Recently, airfare rates to Canada have skyrocketed and certain routes are as expensive as going to Europe. So when a deal of just $119 one-way to Montreal, it's time to buy and ask why later.
This sale is a not-to-miss for several reasons. First, trips are permitted seven days a week. The best bets: No blackout dates and that travel is allowed at this rate through Aug. 12, 2012 (naturally based on sale seat availability).
Give at least a three-day advance purchase notice.
Total ticket rates, inclusive of every tax, fee and surcharge, is $154.90 each way.
Air Canada serves Montreal via one flight connection in Toronto.
This sale has no ticket-by date. Act fast!
Sale airfares are always subject to change. Every seat on every flight is not offered at the lowest rate.
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 Web sites such as Expedia 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."

Montreal, considered the Paris of North America, was founded by French explorers 400 years ago. It is among the oldest cities on the continent and it retains a rich sense of this history with its European ambiance in Old Town.
The province of Quebec is one of the world's best places for seeing autumn foliage. Check out spots in and around Montreal for best viewing:
