Join us!! Got Air Miles?

If you feel the excitement at home, and wish you were here with us, you still have options.

Our next tournament game is Thursday, February 19th at 9:15 AM. (Opponent to be determined Monday.)

To buy a flight at retail, at this late notice will cost between $810 & $1000 depending on whether you choose Westjet or Air Canada and your flight times. However if you have 3250 Air Miles and $138 we can get you here.


This flight as shown will take you right into Quebec City, which is much easier. We speak from experience... if you land in Montreal it will take you an additional 4 hours to get here by car/bus. If you come all the way to Quebec City (YQB) you are a 15 minute taxi ride to the hotel. Much less stressful. 

The return flight, however, is the 24th from Montreal. (There are no Air Miles or Aeroplan options for the 23rd when we go home.) However, if you choose to use Air Miles just for a one-way ticket here, it will cost you 1950 miles and $78. To pay retail for whichever flight home you choose, is $400 or $500. Flying HOME from Montreal will be much easier. Jump on the team charter from Quebec City to get you there. 




If you are here already and you are hoping to make changes to your return flight and stay with us longer, you will have to pay a change fee to the airline. (Ranges from $50-125 depending on the airline and type of fare you purchased) PLUS you will pay the difference in what you paid for the flight segment previously, and the current market price of that new seat.  So, if you originally paid $250 for the flight home, and the new cost of your chosen flight is $500, you will need to pay the $250 difference and change fee to make that possible. 

Looking at aeroplan.com for last minute flights looked like a terrible way to do it. 14 hour flights with connections and 42,000 points. Not worth the time to look at.
