Yes, it can be done, at least theoretically. Air New Zealand has an amazing deal to Auckland going on right now out of Los Angeles and San Francisco. Return flights are less than $500 after tax for the end of May, beginning of June.

Delta has a flight from September 2nd or 3rd to 5th for $276 after tax roundtrip. Yes, that's a Thursday or Friday to Sunday.

Yes, it is still possible to get to Europe and back for an excellent price, but only in spring. For summer, all bets are still off. Hopefully we'll see some decent deals as we get into late spring.

Both WestJet and Air Canada claim to be having a seat sale today for flights between now and the end of June.

I know a lot of Calgarians deal with Houston a lot (having so many oil & gas companies there as well). You might want to pass this along to anyone you know in Houston, or maybe you'll find yourself there for work....

An Air Transat flight from Calgary to Frankfurt just dropped to $830 after tax, roundtrip, October 5th to 13th. Non-stop both ways.

All inclusive deals might be expected in June, as things slow down for most all inclusive destinations, as it warms up here in North America and Europe.

Those flights to Charlotte, North Carolina (CLT) are back, for $292 after tax, roundtrip on United airlines. Should be able to see them on United.com, Kayak, wherever.

WestJet Vacations is offering a $200 bonus towards any WestJet flight when you book one of their vacation packages.
