After having their initial launch run into some red tape troubles, New Leaf is back, offering some sorely needed competition in the Canadian market.
New Leaf is offering flights from Edmonton to...
YKA - Kamloops, BC - $158 CAD roundtrip including taxes
YXJ - Fort St. John, BC - $158 CAD roundtrip including taxes
YYJ - Victoria, BC - $178 CAD roundtrip including taxes
YXX - Abbotsford, BC - $238 CAD roundtrip including taxes (1 hr drive to Vancouver)
YHM - Hamilton, Ontario - $386 CAD roundtrip including taxes
YQM - Moncton, New Brunswick - $482 CAD roundtrip including taxes
Be aware that New Leaf is a no-frills budget airline, similar to the model seen in Europe. *Everything* costs extra, beyond a personal item. A carry-on bag is $25. Your first checked bag is $30. complete list of fees.
The last time New Leaf launched, WestJet and Air Canada responded by dropping their prices. That's what competition does. Keep an eye on YEG Deals for word of them doing so again!
