the title is pretty misleading as you still have to add the $300 tax which almost doubles the price

lol tax is a killer.

There should be a rule where all advertised prices in stores already include tax... like Gasoline.

life would be too easy
Still great deals no matter how you look at it. Take $ 700 and divide that by 7 days... for $ 100 per day you have meals, drinks , flight + accommodation included at a 4* hotel.
You cant get a decent hotel in Toronto for $ 100/night.... never mind being fed.

When it comes to all inclusive pre-packaged holiday, its not worth the drive to Buffalo.
If you are looking for a simple flight to Florida lets say,,, then its worth the drive.

I agree with prior comments re advertising without the taxes for trips (as they are not standard 13% GST+PST).

That said, you are absolutely correct when it comes to going down South. Pretty much any flight to any US state will be cheaper from Buffalo. Cuba (haha), DR, forget it. When we were in Punta Cana a few years ago we hung out with a few Canadian couples and a couple from Buffalo. They always fly out of Toronto because the only offerings from Buffalo is Vegas, Florida or California for 'vacation'. You go to Dominican and its 35% European, 64.9% Canadian and .1% American

Its sad. We need to support our CANADIAN airlines who are struggling big time. Yet, I do see people driving to Buffalo even if it saves them only $ 50.00
