I think that is a certainty.
Even a short flight like Halifax to St Johns, Lynx had some $69 OW fares over summer, with most being at $150.
Porter and AC are at $650+ RT, so you now are stuck with a much bigger fee - all for a 90 minute flight.
Some summer routes between YVR and YYC have jumped 50-150 (RT) dollars depending on the day IN July.
YVR - YWG are now 800 + on AC/WS, up $100-$300 over last 24 hours. Only cheap flights left are on Flair at $290.
Toronto is still fairly well priced from Western Canada with no real changes.
