Air Canada has dropped the price of their flights from Montreal to Los Angeles and San Diego, California down to between $368 and $388 CAD roundtrip including taxes.

The flights are nonstop both ways.

You can also find nonstop flights to...

Las Vegas -- $373 roundtrip

Phoenix -- $381 roundtrip

But San Diego is the real gem here. The last great deal to SAN was four years ago, during covid.

You can also find 1 stop flights to places like Reno, Nevada or Santa Barbara, California in the $300s roundtrip, which is significantly less than usual. There's even a few to Fresno.

It's also a good day to buy autumn flights to Orlando or Miami, Florida (low $200s RT) but I rarely get worked up about Florida flights, they are almost always cheap these days.

UPDATE: Air Canada is now showing nonstop flights to San Diego for $388 roundtrip. Porter is showing nonstop flights in September from Montreal to San Francisco or Los Angeles for $379 CAD roundtrip. This is the *Standard* fare class price, including carry-on (not Basic Economy).
