Try the websites like expedia, flight centre, the tour operators like transat. Remember, you get what you pay for.

Generally speaking West Jet has the best prices to Edmonton. You could try flying into Calgary (if the price is better cuz that's West jet's home base) & take a bus to Edmonton (it's about 3-4hrs+) Good luck!

Do they even do "stand by" anymore?

They do in Europe.

Air Canada has a 15% discount promotion on right now though you may still find cheaper booking through orbitz, cheapoair and expedia.

Wesjet also has a 15% discount promotion right now to anywhere they fly.

Don't forget to check out Porter Airlines as well.

Not sure if this promo code still works for 50% off but you can try it at porter airlines.

I use to be a gold Travelocity member but now I've been using Expedia and got great buys. I had to fly to LAX twice on short notice and was able to book flights with 2 days notice for under $700 return (incl. all taxes). Air Canada wanted ~ $1800 return. I had stop overs down and back but for $1,000 - no problem. Not sure about in Canada rates.

And perhaps in Rarotonga too, but I was asking about Westjet

And in Canada.

There are low rates for standby tickets in Canada? I thought that was done away with years ago in Canada. I know that for changed tickets or for missed or delayed flights there is standby but not to go to the airport on the day of travel and hang around for a cheap ticket in case the plane is not full

Can you point me anywhere on how to get this?

Not really. I was flying out west a few months ago and spoke to some fellow travellers who had gone standby. They told me it sucked that you could not plan ahead for your exact ravel dates but the savings more than made up for it. I guess it's good if you have flexibility and saving a few hundred dollars is worth spending extra hours in the airport. I'm too impatient and would rather pay to reduce my wait time so I never looked it up on-line.

I saw the first episode of "Pan Am" Sunday night. The series looks promising.
