For Air Canada specifically, tickets are for the standard economy fare type, which includes a full-size carry-on but charges $60 for checked luggage round-trip.
East Coast-based travelers could also take advantage of this opportunity to go to British Columbia, though the cheapest flights include JetBlue's Blue Basic fare at least one way. This could potentially be a deal breaker for some since Blue Basic only includes one personal item that can fit under the seat in front of you.
Any full-size carry-on bag brought to the gate will incur a $65 fee to be checked. In this case, it would be more economical to pay $26 to upgrade to Blue to travel with a full-size carry-on.
The best return flight is flying Alaska's Saver fare, which means you wouldn't have to worry about paying more for carry-on baggage because it's included, as illustrated below.
Note that it will cost between $30 and $35 each way to check your first bag for the lowest fares on the other included carriers.
Maximize your purchase
Don’t forget to use a card that earns bonus points on airfare purchases, such as The Platinum Card® from American Express (5 points per dollar on airfare booked directly with the airline or through American Express Travel, on up to $500,000 on these purchases per calendar year), Citi Prestige® Card (5 points per dollar on airfare), Citi Premier® Card, Chase Sapphire Reserve (3 points per dollar on airfare), American Express® Gold Card (3 points per dollar on airfare when booked directly with the airline or through Amex Travel) or the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card (2 points per dollar on travel). Check out this post for more on maximizing airfare purchases.
The information for the Citi Prestige Card has been collected independently by The Points Guy. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.
Bottom line
This deal is particularly fortuitous for those flying out of big airports on the West Coast, though the deal includes flights from one smaller airport — John Wayne Airport (SNA). New York City-based travelers can also get in on the fun for a slightly higher price tag.
Be sure to book quickly to explore Vancouver, one of Canada's most beautiful cities, all year-round.
