I recently travelled to visit my American girlfriend via Air Transat, a French Canadian airline flying various routes from Europe to Canada. My first option would have been to go to Seattle, as it is closer to my girlfriends city. The prices in the high season are really expensive. I got this flight for 381GBP including taxes.
The customer service was excellent. The plane was well staffed and the attentiveness high. The duty free was very cheap as well. I was so pleased with the value that I booked my girlfriends return trip for 375GBP with Thomas Cook in Vancouver.
The only minor drawbacks are:
You have to book through a travel agent, although it appears as though you can book online at the web site (www.transat.com); also there is a stopover in Calgary that is a bit tedious.
The flights are only available in the Spring and Summer...the scheduled airlines are too competitive in the Low season. So, if you are having trouble getting a decent deal to the western United States, this si a good option.
Why not do what I did and stay a few nights in Vancouver before moving on.
