Hi Toyboy,

I kind of abandoned the thread after an OP told me it was too self promotional to have a link to my blog in my sig without being a sponsor, which was understandable I guess.
I think most people...
It's a scam, trust me.

Love lists like this.
You can see #1 (Antelope Canyon), #9 (The Wave, Arizona, USA), #13 (Grand Canyon) and #30 (Bryce Canyon) all in one week with a cheap flight to Phoenix and a rental car. ...
Bioluminescent Bay is high on my list if I ever visit Puerto Rico...

Belize is great, we went there this February. It's a tiny country and you can see a lot of it in 10 days if you rent a vehicle. Known for having some of the best snorkeling and diving in the world....
Glad it helped. $887 is a one way price I take it? Certainly haven't seen a roundtrip to New Zealand that cheap in a long time, even from Vancouver.
No matter what way you slice it, 'open ended' travel is expensive.
Booking a roundtrip and then changing the return date = hefty change fee + difference in fare price. Unless of course you buy a...
There are two types of sales...
1) The ones that Air Canada and Westjet have every week.
2) The ones where they actually drop their prices.
The second type is very rare.
Just in case anyone is interested, there are some crazy prices to London and Manchester on Air Transat at the moment.
$399 roundtrip after taxes, cheapest I've ever seen on AT, even for winter...

Not sure if this will help you or not, but here's a Google Map of things to see, and places to eat at, that I made for my trip to Taiwan in November.

Irrational fear. Your drive to the airport is 10,000X more likely to result in your death. So is eating a Big Mac.
Ah, that makes a lot more sense. I would definitely believe $734 after taxes for one way to Finland. (Just under 2/3 the cost of a usual roundtrip price)
Roundtrips are *occasionally* cheaper...
Roundtrip or one way?
Not calling your friend a liar, but that looks suspiciously like the pre-tax roundtrip prices on britishairways.com at the moment. ($1200ish roundtrip after taxes)
Would...
Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest that this was a good idea. I just kind of lumped it in there, because the free-market folks who are against high government taxes on air travel often also complain...
I disagree. I think there are two separate issues here.
Issue #1) So called 'taxes & fees' advertised by the airlines are essentially a number that they pull out of their ass. There is no real...
$550ish roundtrip after taxes is the lowest you can normally expect to ever see them drop to. Air Transat/Thomas Cook are the only flights that ever drop anywhere near this level.
Whoever told...
~$600 roundtrip after taxes to London Gatwick and back is pretty close to the bottom price it usually reaches from YYC. That price will only ever be seen on Air Transat / Thomas Cook of course.

Air Canada just came out with a code today for 20% off flights to Asia.
And they do have the cheapest (and fastest) one way flights to Shanghai. One stop for an hour in Vancouver.
With the...
Oktoberfest actually takes place mostly in September. At least, the real one in Munich does (Sep 17 to Oct 3).
I wonder how many people mistakenly show up in October thinking the party is just...
Might want to check out the interesting fare war going on to Belize (BZE), Costa Rica (LIR), and Honduras (RTB) at the moment.
Prices throughout winter have been affected, down to about $630...
Haven't seen anything out of the East, it seems to be mostly from the West, up to about Winnipeg. Vancouver -> New York was down to $350 at one point.
From Toronto you can usually expect to pay...
It's a match of United's drop yesterday. United flys into Laguardia (LGA) so you can have your pick of flying into Laguardia or Newark at the moment.
The date range is huge on this one, affecting...
+1 for SE Asia at the moment.
Flights in/out of Bangkok, Manila, Saigon, Taiwan, Jakarta are all at ridiculously cheap price levels at the moment (sub $900 roundtrip after taxes) which has never...
Kayak.com - 3 day flexible date search - try into FLL as well, or just select the nearby airports option.
Last year Christmas was all about nearly free trips to Vegas and $300 packages to New York. Need Expedia to have another giant screwup.
Definitely. Believe me, I wasn't trying to get the OP's hopes up :). Just trying to show how rare they really are.
The odds of a great all inclusive deal over Christmas AND having enough...
It's highly unlikely that a Canadian tour operator or hotel owner would need to drop their prices anywhere over Christmas or New Year's to fill seats/rooms.
There were however a few rare ones from...
Those were the cheap flights to the East coast that dropped around the middle of May? I took advantage of the same ones, Calgary to Halifax dropped to $326 roundtrip all in throughout the summer,...
Yes, I think a lot of that consolidation is through Skylink here in Canada if I'm not mistaken.
It's interesting if you go to http://skylinkgroup.com/ and then to http://www.skylinkholidays.com/...
Don't see why not. Travel agencies usually have access to the same prices as online search engines and vice versa. Some will just tack on a charge for the service.
Anyone considering SE Asia in the fall should definitely be having a look right now!
Manila, Philippines just went sub-$900 roundtrip after tax as well...

Multi cities are definitely a lot more complex.
Personally, I would start by playing around with the cities and dates involved on a multi-city search on Kayak...

Bangkok, Thailand and Saigon, Vietnam both went sub $900 roundtrip after tax today.
Those cheap flights to Chicago do appear on United from time to time (AA as well) as part of United's 'e-fares' which are released on Tuesday's.
They're always for the upcoming Saturday ->...
I'm suggesting you check out both and compare :)
The key to not wasting time when it comes to finding the best travel price is knowing which prices overlap.
