3) YOW-CDG-FCO - $2088 per person. I like AF but the price is a non-starter.
AC and the airports are very aware of my postal code so to suggest that our family driving to YUL is somehow affecting their decisions is ridiculous. What I think they are starting to learn, at least, is that there is massive demand for direct flights from Ottawa. People fly make travel plans specifically to avoid connecting.

Are 1 and 2 the same AC flight YUL to FCO? If so it's a no brainer to drive to YUL. Even the same price it's probably worth it. Though a bunch of posters here will try and make all kind of justifications why you have to leave from Ottawa every time.
