Calgary to Shanghai, China - $766 roundtrip after taxes - Jan through May 2013

UPDATE:

Beijing and Shanghai are now both at $760 roundtrip after taxes on United. October, November, and December dates. Can also do a multi city, into Beijing and out of Shanghai for example, for the same price.

Flights from Calgary to Shanghai, China look to be priced about 30% below their usual bottom today, using a combination of Westjet and China Eastern Airlines through Vancouver.

It looks to have affected every date between January and May 2013. Here's how to find them....

1. Go to https://www.kayak.com/flights/YYC-YVR/2013-05-03/YVR-PVG/2013-05-03/PVG-YYC/2013-05-17

2. Click on 'Change your search' (top left)

3. Enter your dates of travel and hit Find Flights.

Initially the price may show as slightly higher on Kayak (around $850) but when you click through from Kayak to Orbitz, the price will drop to $766 roundtrip after taxes.

(Just to note, this needs to be searched as a multi-city flight for the cheap price to verify on Orbitz, which I've tried to make as easy as possible with the Kayak link in Step 1)

Let's Talk Turkey - A how-to guide for planning your trip

Back in mid June, KLM Canada held a little contest that resulted in some temporarily amazing prices to Istanbul from across the country. Judging by the number of e-mails, Tweets, and Facebook messages I received, I think it's safe to say there will be thousands more Canadians than usual visiting Turkey later this year and in the spring of 2013.

Calgary to Peru, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Charlotte.

This post is a bit of a mish-mash, to a few different destinations. One deal is to Lima, Peru, which just dropped for August travel, while the other 3 are to Eastern U.S. cities that are the victim of a bit of a fare war going on at the moment.

Calgary to Georgetown, Guyana - $511 roundtrip after taxes

This is one for the truly adventurous travelers out there. Most people likely don't even know where Guyana is, much less have it on their travel wish-list. I have a feeling a lot of people might guess that Guyana is in Africa for some reason.

Calgary to Istanbul, Turkey - from $700 roundtrip after taxes!

I've been waiting a long time for this! Turkey has always been near the top of my list of places on this planet that I want to check out (and it's a long list). Fares are *never* cheap though, and usually hover around a minimum of $1300-$1400 roundtrip after taxes.
