Q: It is going to cost a family of 3 around $2900 to fly direct from Sacramento to Winnipeg this labor day weekend so the only option I have is to fly somewhere and then drive to Winnipeg.
A: If you are coming from Sacramento, price out how much it will cost to fly to Minneapolis. That is the largest American airport near, and most people fly there to come up to Canada. There are also smaller flighter to go to International Falls and then up through Fort Frances ON and take the TransCanada west to Winnipeg. Or, some smaller flights also go to Fargo and you can drive up to Winnipeg that way. Have a safe trip!
