United Airlines has dropped the price of their flights from Vancouver to Nashville, Tennessee down to between $214 and $244 CAD roundtrip including taxes.

The flights have 1 stop each way in San Francisco or Chicago.

Vancouver does have nonstop flights to Nashville with WestJet. Those flights would obviously be preferable, and on very rare occasion those flights have dropped into the mid $200s roundtrip, but those prices have not been seen since the spring. More often than not they are quite expensive and they are rarely available over a weekend. And those seasonal flights end on October 21st.

(These 1 stop flights with United do have some Friday to Tuesday availability).

There are currently flights available from Vancouver, Victoria, or Nanaimo to Hawaii for under $349 CAD roundtrip including taxes.

The flights from Vancouver are non-stop both ways. The flights from Victoria or Nanaimo have 1 stop in Vancouver each way.

In many cases, Air Canada's slightly more expensive flights are a better deal than WestJet's Ultrabasic fares (which don't include carry-on).

Beware of deceptive travel marketing trying to convince you that a $298 WestJet Ultrabasic fare, without *any* luggage, even carry-on, is an amazing deal.

Use my Google Flights links below, which will show you the real 'with carry-on' price for an apples to apples comparison between the two airlines.
