So the $$$$ are in for Cozumel.

1 week, Fiesta Americana, All-Inclusive, Includes roundtrip flight from Toronto, all taxes etc etc....$861.00 USD each???

A good deal?

Yes. Better than I could do from Austin, probably.

Isn't that stupid???

I come from 1500miles further away, through Houston sometimes, I might add, and my price is cheaper???

Sounds like my friends in Texas are subsidizing my flight!!

It's time to call the Free Trade Police

Actually, this is the free market system at work. Two years ago in May, AUS<=>CZM through HOU on Continental was $1150, while Toronto<=>CZM on the same HOU<=>CZM legs was $602. It makes no sense to me as a consumer, but I'll betcha anthing you want to put up that it made sense to Continental's bean counters.

And yes, we in Texas that cough up the expense to go to CZM on Continental are indeed subsidizing your flight, though it's not our choice to do so. Continental is free to distribute their charges in any way that they see fit. They are deregulated.

Actually I was referrin to the ongoing Free Trade debate between every country in existence. Like Taxada blaming other countries for cheap steel dumping, US Softwood tarifs on Taxada, etc etc.

Heheheh. This couldn't possibly make sense to anyone, except bean counters.

Uhmmm Taxada = Canada, for you Amerrricun's
