That's not true! I was just thinking of a Marble Mountain trip for Easter weekend (which is probably the last weekend they'll be open this season), with Gros Morne snowshoeing as a backup plan. I've never been there but would be keen on going. I would fly from YYZ though. I basically will try really hard to avoid flying ULCCs though.

Last time I did Air Canada from Pearson to Halifax, then transferred to a turbo prop from Halifax to Deer Lake. It wasn't cheap, and the return flight from Halifax got delayed about 6 hours. That's why I've been jonesing for a cheap non-stop with Flair from KW. I used Flair for Kitchener to Calgary and it worked out mostly alright.

I say mostly because my reservation and online check-in emails both said 15:30 p.m., which my brain saw as 5:30 p.m. and caused me to miss my flight. I arrived at the airport just as they had buttoned up the door, and had to high-tail it to Pearson for a later one-way WestJet flight to arrive that same evening. Oddly enough my return flight was listed in their emails as just 18:15 without a p.m. tacked on, and that flight I caught and enjoyed without issue. Weirdest bug I think I've ever encountered.

I hope you make that trip, Marble Mountain was great!
