Thanks Ed, for all the work on this. Ive also been doing some searching
and found prices about the same with Air Canada at the low end. One
problem might be that the air canada flights go through Toronto and
several others go through detroit. Im concerned about the chances of
weather delay for these northern cities. Anybody have any experience with
this.
