CANADIAN AFFAIR DOUBLES SUMMER 2007 PROGRAMME
 - 400,000 return seats to Canada from £99 one-way -

Canadian Affair is offering a record number of seats and services to Canada this summer. The UK’s leading tour operator to Canada has a 2007 summer programme with 400,000 return seats on offer, twice the number available for summer 2006.

Customers have the choice of 59 flight departures each week from eight UK departure airports, including flights from London Heathrow, Edinburgh, Exeter and Newcastle for the first time. These have been added to the existing UK departure points of London Gatwick, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow airports.

Canadian Affair is offering flights starting from £99 per person one-way (including taxes). All destinations will be served by direct services flying into seven of Canada’s major international airports, not secondary airports that are further from each city.

Canadian Affair also specialises in high quality, tailor-made holidays to Canada offering hotels, Rocky Mountaineer train tours, self-drive holidays, cruises, motor-homes and much more at the most competitive prices.

A four-night break in Montreal starts from £369 per person. This includes return flights from London Gatwick with Air Transat or Thomas Cook Airlines, and four nights at the Clarion Hotel & Suites Downtown Montreal, based on two people sharing on a room-only basis.

Commenting on the new schedule Kathryn Munro, Canadian Affair’s Communication and Marketing Director, said: “We believe our product, prices and customer service are simply unbeatable. Canadian Affair will offer the most flights directly to and from the main airports in Canada, without stopping to pick up other passengers from other points that only adds time and inconvenience to the journey. We also provide child discounts, something that our competitors have been keen to abolish.

“We will always work hard to deliver the lowest prices and the best product and service in the market and our 2007 programme underlines this. We’ve been leading the way for years and it’s our intention to stay in that position,” she added.

Canadian Affair, established in 1995, has become synonymous with high-quality and low-cost air fares to Canada. It will continue to grow on this philosophy, together with its air partners Air Transat, Thomas Cook Airlines and My Travel Airways.  Together they will jointly serve seven Canadian destinations from seven UK airports.
