Australia

This is about 40% below the typical best roundtrip prices from Calgary to either country.

It's pretty common for these flights to bottom out in the $1600s roundtrip. So if you've been waiting for a flight to either country, today would be a very good day to strike.

Flights in the low $1000s between February 2017 and May 2017.

Update 7/28 - Flights in the $900s roundtrip from Calgary to a variety of cities in Australia and New Zealand are back again today. They are available for travel throughout 2016 and 2017.

Scroll up to the beginning of this blog post, and try starting with dates from the lists above, but instead of searching on Expedia, you may want to try searching on Momondo.

Update 8/3 - The January, February, and March 2017 dates have been the more difficult dates to find cheap prices for.

Below, I have listed the 2017 dates from Calgary to Australia and New Zealand that are still in the $900s CAD roundtrip including taxes.

For longer trips, you can also try mixing and matching the departure and return dates from the lists below.

1. Go to Momondo.ca

When you get to Momondo, you may want to look for the option to click through to FlightHub for booking. Sometimes you may need to scroll down a bit. There are a few other sites showing prices in the $900s on Momondo, but some of them are pretty low quality booking sites.
