Flying past Winnipeg
Last year, I contacted Mayor Sam Katz's office about the unconscionably high airfares to/from Winnipeg and the U.S. The mayor's office contacted me and suggested I contact the airlines and complain. Maybe Winnipeg's economy doesn't need a boost from visitors?
My wife and I were planning on visiting family in Winnipeg in June. The airfare from Houston to Winnipeg is more than going from Houston to Amsterdam, Holland. Amazingly, the airfare from Minneapolis to Winnipeg, a less than 90-minute flight, is more than the fare from Houston to Winnipeg, a trip of over five hours. I can't help but think Winnipeg is getting unfair treatment from the airlines. I guess we won't be going to Winnipeg this summer.
