Just looked up a flight to for a friend. Toronto-Hong Kong-Toronto. $6186. At first I thought wow, that is a really cheap fare, no wonder we are loosing money! Then I realized the price was in CANADIAN dollars ($6186 = 44,311HKD) HOLY S&#T! I had friends fly out two years ago, before the shi-t hit the fan and it only cost them about $1500 CAD each to fly round trip. Where are these low fares people speak of. At $6000+ we are more likely to be pushing people away to other "lesser" carriers than drawing them in. Still, the Toronto flights are pretty much full.
