You can also turn this into a 2-in-1 trip, and spend time in both Sydney, Australia *and* Los Angeles or San Francisco for the same price ($938 CAD roundtrip including taxes)

Sydney, Australia and Los Angeles, California

1. Go to FlightHub

2. Click on 'Multi-City'

3. Search for a flight like this:

Calgary to Sydney, Australia (SYD)
Sydney, Australia to Los Angeles (LAX)
Los Angeles (LAX) to Calgary

or

Calgary to Sydney, Australia (SYD)
Sydney, Australia to San Francisco (SFO)
San Francisco (SFO) to Calgary

4. As for the dates to use, for the first and last legs of the journey, try using the start and end dates from the list of regular roundtrip flight dates in the section above.

And then play around with the middle date, to give you more or less time in Australia vs Los Angeles or San Francisco.

For example, if the regular roundtrip dates are:
Mar 12 to Mar 27

Try using these dates:
Mar 12 to Mar 22 to Mar 27

3-in-1 trip: If you really want to get fancy, you may be able to find trips that allow you to visit multiple Australian cities *and* Los Angeles or San Francisco, for around $19 more

I would recommend first attempting to find a 2-in-1 trip using the instructions in the paragraph above.

Once you have found a 2-in-1 trip, try using similar dates to find a 3-in-1 trip.

1. Go to FlightHub

2. Click on Multi-City

3. Search for a flight like this:

Calgary to Brisbane (BNE)
Brisbane (BNE) to Sydney (SYD)
Sydney (SYD) to Los Angeles (LAX)
Los Angeles (LAX) to Calgary

or

Calgary to Sydney (SYD)
Sydney (SYD) to Brisbane (BNE)
Brisbane (BNE) to Los Angeles (LAX)
Los Angeles (LAX) to Calgary

Variations: You can try substituting San Francisco for Los Angeles.

Here's an example with just 1 layover on the way from Calgary to Brisbane, and non-stop flights the rest of the way!

    They are a pretty large booking site, especially in Canada. And generally, the larger the booking site, the easier it is to find bad reviews.

    If you click on the 'Airfare Booking Sites: Power Rankings' article, near the top right of this website, it will give you some more info on them, and a few things to watch for.
