>>>>eporter: I know. We are also accustomed to that. You put certain things in the checked bag. Like liquids and all of that. And then you put all the heavy things in the carreon. This is the deal. Westjet is looking at once -- launching this new ultra fair category in the next few weeks. Which can appeal to what is described to the most budget conscious travellers. The ceo telling a calgary business audience that this move will free up overhead bins base or other passengers. Westjet is not the first airline in canada to operate no carreon discounted fair. Edmonton-based clear airlines let's passengers do this, but westjet is not a low-cost carrier. This option coming after westjet launched what it calls its extended comfort fair category, and that offers passengers access to a number of perks, including preferential access to overhead bins for an extra fee. This might be a way for westjet to clear some space in those overhead bins for the people who are willing to pay to use it.t. >> It's funny for me that they started charging for bags, checked bags, then we move to carry on to say that money, and now, no carreon for ultra low-fare. And if you want to bring a carry-on and have a space to put it in, you will have to pay for that as well. I cannot keep up. >> The story sort of underlines the change that we are seeing in travel. Things are shifting. People's habits are shifting. Things are moving in different directions. And airlines are switching with us. >> It looks like airlines and other travel related companies will make a lot of money this summer. >> Yes. That is because canadians are willing to pay big to travel this year. It looks like or it sounds like I guess some of that pent-up travel demand... For a long time we could not go anywhere, so now we -- people want to go everywhere. Despite sky high and ongoing economic pressures. The summer travel schedule from deloitte shows an average spend of $2,400 for transportation and lodging in a summer trip this year. Three and four respondents planning to stay in canada. Prince edward island is expected to see the largest share of visitors from outside of the region. Generation x spent just planning on spending the most. Generation z., the least.

We heard reports of this happening last week, that a wnba team will be coming to toronto. Today it will be made official. Welcome devo brown. At 9:00 this morning they will make the announcement. >> I'm excited about that. There's been a buzz for quite some time. But now that it's official it's kind of cool. Teresa, who is been an executive with the raptors, with the 905, she is familiar with the game and a longtime student of the game, and a well-known and well-respected person throughout the nba and wnba. She has worked with masai you jerry for some years. She will be team president. The group that is leading this, also led by a ceo for ac milan. Ceo for arsrsal fc in the uk. There is a team, we talked about larry tannenbaum, but a separate team with kilmer sports group, it is a team that is familiar, a familiar group with sports being successful. So I am excited for that. I think it's going to be very, very cool. You are seeing some of the highlights from the wnba. The season that just kicked off. With caitlin clark and march madness this year, it is at an all-time high. And canadian women. The canadian women's national team, junior teams and senior teams, are unbelievable. So they have some of that homegrown talents that can get into the league a little. A little bit more notice, because it's going to be here in the cities before and a lot of you are excited. This tweet from dan saying... >> Devo: coca-cola so -- coliseum, 700, right? That is not bad, in the heart o the city big jigsaw says... >> Devo: on... Before I feel like a team can be named after a city and still represent not just ontario, but canada as well. >> Devo: the toronto raptors, when they came here, there are players in the nba right now who cite vince carter as the reason that they watch basketball and wanted to be at that level. And they are a a from all over the country. So I think you can call it the toronto team and be okay with it. >> Tammie: lastly, an e-mail from nathan... >> Devo: love it. >> Tammie: with the positivity. >> Devo: I like the confidence. Very good right there. Coming up in a little bit. Meredith and tracy will be here giving us their take on this. End at 720, when is the right time to turn on the air conditioning in your home?

This morning we will celebrate newcomer day at city hall and the wonderful initiative that welcomes all these newcomers here to the six.
