Calgary to St. John's, Newfoundland | $347 roundtrip including taxes


At the moment, WestJet is showing some airfares in their system from Calgary to St. John's, Newfoundland (YYT) for as low as $347 roundtrip including taxes.

Typically, it is virtually guaranteed you will pay at least $600-$700 to fly roundtrip from Calgary to Newfoundland.

UPDATE - Wed Feb 18 @ 8:59 AM - It looks like WestJet has put these fares back up to their typical price of $766 roundtrip. It's hard to say what that was, whether it was intentional or a mistake. I think it may have been intentional, but perhaps not expecting the sudden surge in demand. If WestJet releases any more in the $300s, I'll update this post.

Here's how to find them...

1. Try a 3 day flexible date search on Kayak. Here are some example searches you can start with...

March

mid March, 2 adults
mid to late March, 2 adults

April

doesn't seem to be any cheap ones

May

early May, 2 adults
second week of May, 2 adults
mid May, 2 adults, $337
late May to early June, 2 adults

June

early June, 2 adults
mid June, 2 adults, nonstop flights available
June 17-22

June 22 appears to be the latest date in the year you can return and still find a price in the $300s.

From the Kayak search, you can click through to WestJet's website to book.

Here's a screenshot of the verified price page from WestJet.com, showing a total price of $703 for TWO airfares from Calgary to St. John's.


Like any price drop on flights within Canada, this is an extremely rare event. I've checked other Eastern Canada cities, hoping for something similar, but it seems to just be Newfoundland prices that have dropped.

How long will it stay this low?

It's always hard to say, as airfare prices change with demand. As I write this, it's very late on Tuesday night. Hopefully this is still around come Wednesday morning!
