Got my ticket freshly confirmed and all :D I will not even attempt to understand the mysteries of air travel. The flight I have is Ottawa->Toronto->London. It&apos;s 650$. If I do Montreal->Toronto->London on the exact same dates, it&apos;s 900$. If I do Montreal->Toronto, it&apos;s ~675$, but I can&apos;t really do that because of schedule constraints. It was a pain in the ass to find the sweet spot, date-wise. The day you&apos;re leaving seems to have a <b>huge<\/b> significance, but it&apos;s not always consistent. Also, the expedia website listed two exact same flights, dates and times, for two different prices. I don&apos;t get it, but it&apos;s not important anymore :D<\/p>\n<p>My flight information:<\/p>\n<p>Fri 24 Dec 2004  <\/p>\n<p>Ottawa (YOW) to Toronto (YYZ)<br \/>\nDepart 6:00 am<br \/>\nArrive 7:10 am<br \/>\nDuration: 1hr 10min<br \/>\nFlight: Air Canada 479  <\/p>\n<p>Toronto (YYZ) to London (LHR)<br \/>\nDepart 9:00 am<br \/>\nArrive 9:15 pm<br \/>\nDuration: 7hr 15min<br \/>\nFlight: Air Canada 868  <\/p>\n<p>Total distance: 6075 km (3775 mile(s))<br \/>\nTotal duration: 8hr 25min (10hr 15min with connections)  <\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Sat 8 Jan 2005  <\/p>\n<p>London (LHR) to Ottawa (YOW)<br \/>\nDepart 4:45 pm Arrive 7:20 pm<br \/>\nDuration: 7hr 35min<br \/>\nFlight: Air Canada 889  <\/p>\n<p>Total distance: 5362 km (3332 mile(s))<br \/>\nTotal duration: 7hr 35min<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Two little edits: yes, I&apos;m leaving Ottawa at 6am. That means I need to be at the airport at 4am. That means I really shouldn&apos;t really sleep that night, cause I&apos;ll need to wake up at 2:30 am. Normally, flights to europe are in the afternoon, but I didn&apos;t want to land on xmas morning. <\/p>\n<p>Edit #2: to all those people who sniggered because I always keep my passport in my bag, I say HA! I needed it just now to confirm something, so I say neener neener in your general direction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&apos;m going to see Katy during hte holidays, huzzah.
