Vancouver to Regina, Saskatoon, Kelowna, Winnipeg, and Toronto - $156 to $302 CAD roundtrip including taxes

After yesterday's announcement by NewLeaf involving their plan to offer cheap flights from Abbotsford, WestJet has thrown back a punch of their own, by offering flights from both Abbotsford AND Vancouver to Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg, Kelowna, and Toronto at prices that are far below their typical bottom levels (over 40% less than usual).
It's no coincidence that these are the same destinations NewLeaf targeted with their launch yesterday, and are being offered at similar price levels.
It would not be surprising to see Air Canada follow suit.
Both are likely to be aggressive with attempting to throttle new competition out of the Canadian marketplace.

Certain dates in February, March, and April 2016

2. Click through from Google Flights to WestJet's website for booking.
NOTE: WestJet's website seems to be having technical difficulties at the moment. It might be overloaded due to the traffic coming from YYZ Deals (Toronto counterpart of YVR Deals). Hopefully it will be back online soon.
If you don't want to wait, you can try taking the same dates you found on Google Flights, and trying a search on Expedia.ca or Flight Network or ITravel2000. They are showing these fares as well.

I’m looking at return flights to Toronto (from Vancouver or Abbotsford). I don’t see anything close to "$302 CAD roundtrip including taxes". Google Flights is quoting $302 though this is for a one-way flight. Is this maybe a typo?
I couldn't find any return trips from Vancouver to Halifax for $400.
flight to toronto for $302 doesn't exist. tried to book didn't work then called in to westjet and they said there is so such flight.
I couldn't see any flights from Vancouver to Halifax for $400. return
No flights to Hali for $400.
You folks are rather obviously not seeing it because it is sold out. Look at the flights to S'toon, Regina, etc, those discounts are still available.
Abbotsford to Toronto - $281 CAD roundtrip including taxes -- a couple date combinations left
Vancouver to Toronto - $302 CAD roundtrip including taxes -- seems to be sold out, except for April 20 to 27
Vancouver to Halifax - $400 CAD roundtrip including taxes -- sold out
The rest still have a fair amount of availability.
(checked at 5:50 PM PST)
Vancouver to Toronto - April 27 to May 11 is also verifying at $302 CAD roundtrip. May 4 to 11 is $328 CAD.
(6:10 PM PST)
Feb 17 to 24 is verifying at $369 CAD on Expedia.
What about Vancouver to Montreal?.
Booked a flight from Kelowna, BC (YLW) to Toronto $257 return!
Great tip thanks Chris
Gill: Prices to Montreal were not affected, because the price drops are only to destinations that NewLeaf launched with.
Vancouver - Toronto flights that are still showing at $302 CAD roundtrip including taxes
