Calgary to China - $790 roundtrip after taxes | up to March 2014

China

It looks like Air Canada is offering some significantly cheaper fares on their 1 stop flights between Calgary and Shanghai or Beijing, China. Perhaps they are finally trying to compete with the low cost Asian carriers out of Vancouver that have been so aggressive with their fares in the last year.

The cheaper fares look to be available on a large variety of dates between late September 2013 and March 2014.

Update 1: These look to have dropped a little further on certain date combinations. Seeing some fares for around $760 CAD.

Update 2: Sep 7 - Incredibly, these Air Canada flights look to have dropped even further. Calgary to Shanghai is currently available for as cheap as $694 roundtrip after taxes!

I've found that the easiest way to explore these fares is to try a flexible date search on Kayak. Here's an example for late September, early October...

Look for the flights with 1 stop each way in Vancouver. The total travel time should be around 14-15 hours each way.

Click through from Kayak to Air Canada, Orbitz, or Expedia to book.
