Pat ForanCORRESPONDENT
The family has flown to Whistler on various airlines and has never been charged for taking the helmets on board.
Pat ForanCORRESPONDENT
This summer they flew Flair Airlines from Toronto to Vancouver and there were no charges for the helmets on the way out.
Pat ForanCORRESPONDENT
But on the way home, they had to pay carry-on fees of more than $100 per helmet plus taxes for a total of $358.
Shelly WatsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I was angry.
Shelly WatsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They aren't in the way.
Shelly WatsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We don't put them in the overhead bins.
Pat ForanCORRESPONDENT
Watson complained to Flair Airlines she was told charging carry-on fees is at the discretion of the employee at the airport.
Pat ForanCORRESPONDENT
However when we reached out to Flair a spokesperson said Flair's sporting equipment policy includes bicycles but does not specifically include helmets as part of that allowance.
Shannon PhillipsHOST
The ticketing, I think, is going to be up in the next day or two, according to Carter.
Shannon PhillipsHOST
And, you know, the other thing that we will do by reading our emails is we're open to sponsors like Flair Airlines, Swiss Chalet, really anyone.
Annalise KlingbeilHOST
Yeah, you can sponsor Balance of Power Pod.
Annalise KlingbeilHOST
Okay, thank you all.

Las Vegas Mayor Shelley Berkeley said tourism from Canada has dried up from a torrent to a drip.

Ted Papa George, head of the Culinary Workers Union, called it the Trump slump.
Steven SirskiHOST
Air Canada both ways was stupidly expensive, as I mentioned last week.
Steven SirskiHOST
So Flair Airlines or Porter.
Steven SirskiHOST
But that...
Steven SirskiHOST
If I would have done that, then I would have had to be a little bit more careful about my luggage, because as I mentioned, I paid for the carry-on add-on, carry-on baggage fee for this Air Canada flight, which was another $80.
Steven SirskiHOST
So I'm like, oh my goodness, not a chance.
Steven SirskiHOST
Now, I didn't check, I don't, I never did check Porter Airlines or Flair Airlines to see what their return flights from Toronto would be to Winnipeg.
Steven SirskiHOST
I guess I could do that just to sort of see if it would be worth coming back the same day.
Steven SirskiHOST
The problem with that is that it's going to cost probably $200, maybe $300 to come back.
Steven SirskiHOST
Same with WestJet.
Steven SirskiHOST
Now there are other airlines in Canada, Porter Airlines, Flair Airlines, these airlines, these are known as the discount airlines, where they will literally charge, like a ticket could cost $80 if you book it two months in advance.
Steven SirskiHOST
And I see these prices two months out and going, man, it'd be nice to be able to spend only $80 to go to Toronto.
Steven SirskiHOST
But it's just not my situation.
