I thought Vancouver Island was a thing. 
Calgary maybe? Itās generally fairly cheap, has a good sized airport, and is close to beautiful locations like Banff.
Not so much.
Waaaaay in advance is usually quite expensive. Because the airlines assume that you are booking either something you really want to do, therefore you would pay a premium, or itās the only time where you would have your holidays, therefore you would also pay a premium.
The only thing more expensive would be to book on the last minute / when the plane is almost full!
The cheapest you can book is about a couple weeks before the trip, if the plane is really empty, they give you insane discounts to fill it in! (otherwise they end up paying to fly.
The catch there isā¦ if the plane is full, then itāll cost a lot.
Soā¦
There is a sweet spot usually about 3-6 months before the date, where the companies lower the fees to try and get rid of the costs of the flight.
Thatās when I tend to find the cheapest yet still plan-able flights.
Although everything Iām saying might end up in the bin considering that covid drastically changed air travel at the moment.

yeah we are 
Because nobody wants to go to Calgary
That it is.
And Iām biased since I do have family there.
But in the end it comes down to where DTās fanbase is heavier.
Comparing the savings:
flights from NY to Iceland (350) vs flights from NY to Vancouver (250) = 100 savings
flights from London to Iceland (50) vs flights from London to Vancouver (400) = 350 savings
I rounded roughly the prices, and used NY and London because both would be the āa big city in each ādemographic blockā closest to the target city in the opposing blockā.
Good luck fitting that under your skin hahah

one of us one of us
Judge Pini told her: "I accept that you had no malicious intent to cause deliberate harm to anybody or to damage property
Thatās good they have taken that into account
ā A bomb disposal team was called in and nearby homes were evacuated, with local residents unable to return for several hoursā
All for a glorified m80
Me with a pound of Tannerite just chilling on my desk shelf, more or less just as a paperweight
Granted, itās a binary explosive,So itās perfectly stable in its current config, but still eyeroll
(Also legal I suppose is important)
The mistake was forgetting that they lived in a country thatās so over the top that they have tried to ban pointed kitchen knives
Iām not sure the concept of survival, which inherently involves dangerous things and concepts, is capable of coexistence in a nanny state
It is complicated in the US too though. There are activities which are illegal, so while you can make your own explosives, you canāt transport or store them without a licence. So the fact that she had some compounds like nitroglycerine in a cupboard would be illegal in the US (at the federal level).
Seems like an incredibly harsh sentence to me.
As kids we used to run around the woods with airguns and knives, blowing up random stuff with āillegalā french firecrackers. Under the current application of law we would probably have been charged with terrorism offences at age 13. The most malicious thing we ever did was when we shortened the fuse on a banger, stuck it in a cow pat and got a lad to light it.
Feels very much like they have tried to make an example of her and quite litterally thrown everything they could get to stick at her.

Illegal electric fly-swatter?! 
Thank god they caught that. Who knows what kind of untold damage could have been caused with an illegal fly-swatter. Someone could have been slightly surprised by a tiny shock seriously injured!
