So, at lunch time I google the local charter flight company, I could find a flight for 800$, direct from home to Lisbon. I check again this evening ready to book, it's now 910$! And I would still have to catch a train to Porto, putting me there at 4pm.

So I google to see what other airlines may take me there, and I could fly into Newark to catch a White Airways flight to Lisbon, anf from there another to Porto, putting me there at 9am. This one is 779$.

Do I really want the extra layover in EWR? I really don't like that airport, and it's a 3 hour layover, but I get a full day in Porto... Cheaper and earlier... Though longer.

Ok, saving 200$ and getting a full day in Porto, I suppose I can sit around EWR for 3 hours...

Try deleting your cookies after each search, sometimes I think if you have had a previous look at flights they put the price up

The cheaper price was from work, this evening from home... I called CAA to see what they could find after hearing froma forum member about the great deals they found for her. Will know more tomorrow and will delete cookcies from I pad, as their puter may remember me from searches weeks ago. Thank you for the heads up!

Now, how do you remove cookies with an Ipad?

Didn't think I had already searched from home in the past. How do you delete cookies on an I pad? Thanks!

Google "How do I delete cookies from iPad." You'll prob get an answer. (My son has been teaching me to do this.)

Don't know where/when you are flying but for interest I just searched Kayak.com for Toronto-Porto flights in May. Came up with return fares via Istanbul from C$680 return. An unlikely route but a great city for a stopover!
