I love youth passes . It fosters a lifelong love of travel. I’m sure this a good value but still seems high for youths on a limited budget
Yes ,a good value ,but I’m still nostalgic for the old Eurail youth passes in Europe. Now it’s the budget airlines in Europe that make travel within Europe a complete bargain compared to North America.
That is a good value, esp. for those who traveling across the country and who can use the pass extensively for 2 months.
A one way flight from Vancouver to the east coast of Canada might run you $700.00. Remember, you’re talking about distance of almost 4000 mi/6000 km between Vancouver and Halifax. Travels north towards the Yukon and NWT are also expensive, so if you will actively travel for 2 months, this is a good value.
