For residents of Metro Vancouver, flights out of Abbotsford (YXX) fly directly to Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, and Mazatlan. To access cities like Cancun, you'll have to purchase a flight to another city and then connect.
You can use the price calendar to find an available flight at a lower price and then enter the promo code as you check out. In the example below, the one-way fare is $200.03 CAD including all taxes and fees. The base fare is $132.97 and 30 per cent of it works out to roughly $39.89. If you take this amount of the total, you'll pay $160.14 CAD including all taxes and fees with the discount.
