Despite pandemic and travel restrictions still in place in several provinces, Canada's major airlines are advertising discounted domestic flights to entice Canadians to start flying again. Air Canada and WestJet are currently offering 20 per cent off base fares for domestic flights — which appear low even without the discount — through to the end of December. "With provinces setting timelines for reopening, we are promoting our services because Canadians are now planning future travel," Air Canada spokesperson Peter Fitzpatrick said in an email. 2:11The major airlines' cheap airfares won't last for long, predicts Frederic Dimanche, director of the Ted Rogers School of Hospitality and Tourism Management at Ryerson University in Toronto. If travellers have to cancel their flights, Air Canada, WestJet and Air Transat are offering free one-time changes for flights booked before July 1.
