Thanks I'll take a look. The only budget airline flying direct from here are Norwegian who I used in February this year but they have dropped the route between Oct-Mar this winter due to what they said was lack of traffic i.e. there are more productive/profitable routes. I got a no frills (no food or drink) one way ticket to Gatwick for $180 with them, the no frills tickets on our normal route with Air Canada (Vancouver - Heathrow) for Christmas are currently $1K - $1.3K
