Actually the lines moved very fast and once your past security it is only steps to your plane and not mile/KM like at Toronto YYZ.

The airport will start using Hamilton Limo to provide 2 buses (size unknown) to provide to and from downtown to the airport service. This is the service that the HSR is not providing. It should start around May 1. Last minute details are being worked out but apparenly the buses have been ordered.

Hammer Town · #66 Posted **Apr 14, 2007, 3:10 AM**

Good news on the Bus service. I wish they would just get Regular HRS though as it would make it easier to work out there.

SteelTown · #67 Posted **Apr 14, 2007, 3:36 PM**

So are these buses going to run like HSR buses or just shuttle to certain areas like Airport to GO Station?

I noticed Ryanair is now doing transatlantic fights to the US. So perhaps one day Ryanair will serve Canada and you know YHM will be looked at seriously.

I noticed in one thread it mentioned that Air Canada is having a big sale this summer from Toronto to Ottawa and Montreal, $11 one way. It also mentioned Hamilton is part of this deal. But I tried looking online and I can't find any deal.

I know WestJet is doing the same but I think it's only for Toronto Airport, to Montreal and Ottawa.

FFX-ME · #69 Posted **Apr 18, 2007, 9:59 PM**

no thats impossible 11?$?

SteelTown · #70 Posted **Apr 18, 2007, 10:25 PM**

It's true I just dont' know if it includes Hamilton Airport with Air Canada as well.

Fares plunge at Air Canada, WestJet

It's a good time to book airfare in Canada, with rival airlines Air Canada and WestJet offering competing promotions in a bid to win over consumers.

Air Canada on Tuesday dropped its prices on select routes to $11 one-way to match bargain prices offered by rival airline WestJet, said Peter Fitzpatrick, a spokesman for Montreal-based Air Canada.

On Tuesday only, an $11 ticket could be bought for flights between Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal

"It was WestJet who put out an announcement two days ago announcing they were going to do it and typically what we do is we do match," Fitzpatrick said. "We always say we will remain competitive in all the markets we fly."

WestJet has also dropped its prices to $29-$49 on select routes, which Air Canada is also matching, Fitzpatrick said

FFX-ME · #73 Posted **Apr 19, 2007, 10:45 PM**

where did you get that info man, i cant find any 11$ flights

SteelTown · #74 Posted **Apr 19, 2007, 11:58 PM**

Go to Air Canada's or WestJet's website and pretend to book a flight online. You'll find the $11 deal well booking a flight. It's real.

Hammer Town · #75 Posted **Apr 20, 2007, 1:18 AM**

Just a heads up that once you factor in all the Taxes its not that cheap.

flar · #76 Posted **Apr 20, 2007, 2:17 AM**

Still pretty cheap, but unfortunately this deal isn't offered in Hamilton, just Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal.

FFX-ME · #77 Posted **Apr 20, 2007, 12:06 PM**

the cheapest flights are 29 or 59$ not 11$

Take off, airmiles, snack service and a couple other options and it ends up being 11$ .. try and book it.. you will see.

flar · #79 Posted **Apr 20, 2007, 12:23 PM**

I think the sale is over, because the other day I could book flights for $11, but now the cheapest seems to be $29

Richard Koroscil, president and CEO of John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport, revealed the airport has some high-flying innovations.
Look for a new shuttle service to the airport from hotels and the GO station to coincide with flyglobespan’s
Hamilton-Britain flights, starting May 1, said Koroscil.
And pack for more Florida destinations from the airport next winter — including Tampa, St. Petersburg and Fort Lauderdale. Las Vegas, too!
