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.

Guyana is actually in the northern part of South America, right next door to Venezuela. I've actually always wanted to check out Mount Roraima, which meets at the boundaries of the borders of Venezuela, Guyana, and Brazil (yes, that's the mountain from Pixar's movie "Up").


But I think the only easy way up Mount Roraima is on the Venezuelan side. And I don't think there's a way to access it by land from Guyana.

Anyways, I know this deal won't have mainstream appeal, but I feel compelled to share it, since it's such a crazy price, more than 60% cheaper than the usual bottom price. Hopefully some adventurous souls out there can take advantage of it.

The cheap prices look to be available from August through December on Delta. Here are some example 10 day trips on Kayak:

October:

November:

December:

Guyana is also the only South American country where English is the official language. It has some pretty incredible wildlife and rainforests, but doesn't have much in the way of tourist infrastructure.

Guyana also has some pretty neat natural sights, such as Kaieteur Falls...

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.
