  1. Great news in theory, but had a look and in the ball park of £600 for a return. Considerably more expensive than ones I’ve seen from Heathrow unfortunately (same dates about £460).

    For a family of three, that’s about a £500 difference.

    Don’t get me wrong, really pleased to have it as an option and hopefully a good sign for Cardiff airports, but needs not just to have flights, but reasonably priced ones too.

  2. To be fair the Devils do have a lot of Canadians playing for them! It’ll be interesting to see how a big Transatlanic route like this does in Cardiff, especially given that Canada is currently a very popular tourist destination
