KLM is having another voting contest on flights from Calgary

Edinburgh, Scotland

Similar to the crazy deal to Turkey last year, KLM Canada is having another voting contest on 5 destinations from Calgary. The destination that gets the most votes will be put on sale for $850 roundtrip after taxes for travel from October 2013 to May 2014.

Based purely on the typical bottom price, I'd say they would all be a good deal on destinations that rarely come up for sale from Calgary. At $850, I'd rank them in order of discount off the typical bottom price as...

Moscow, Russia (-37%)
Lisbon, Portugal (-37%)
Copenhagen, Denmark (-35%)
Warsaw, Poland (-32%)
Edinburgh, Scotland (-28%)

So I'd say they're all fairly equal in terms of deal strength. Personally, I'll probably vote for Edinburgh or Lisbon, but not as excited about any of the available destinations as I was about $750 roundtrip to Turkey.

The date availability (mid October to early May) kind of hurts these mostly northern European destinations in terms of a good time of year to visit in my opinion, which is one reason I'd tend towards Lisbon, being a coastal city that's further south.

As always, you can also get a free stopover in Amsterdam for however long you want on KLM.

Last time KLM had a contest like this, other airlines matched the price when the winning destination was announced, so watch for that as well..
