I just received an email from VIA preference stating that there is a 60% off sale for travel on the Canadian through October 25 if booked by July 19th. The deal is not as good as the one I got last year (express deal), but it is better than 50% off. I am not sure whether this sale applies to only preference members or preference members just received an early "heads up" email. I would like to travel on the Canadian again this year and I think I will hold out to see if they will be offering express deals again.
