These days, prices from Edmonton to Eastern Canada rarely seem to dip too much below $600 roundtrip after taxes, especially for summer travel.

However there seems to be a few freak fares in late June in the Air Canada system that are going for nearly 40% less. True discounts (not the marketing nonsense from Westjet or AC) on flights within Canada are extremely rare so I get pretty excited when I see them.

Here are some examples:

Try clicking through to Orbitz to book. If you get a message on Orbitz about the “fare not being available for that itinerary”, click on the Select button on the first fare you see, and it will verify (At least, it is at the time of this writing).

And if you replace Halifax with some other East coast cities on the same dates, they’re cheap as well:

Moncton, New Brunswick - $403 roundtrip after taxes
Charlottetown, PEI - $406 roundtrip after taxes

UPDATE: I’ve found some in July & August for the same price…

There seems to be plenty in the $400s, with limited dates in the $300s.

Anyone that’s ever tried to fly from Edmonton to Europe knows that it’s expensive. The bottom price on the major carriers has tended to stick around $1200 roundtrip after taxes.

So it’s nice to see Air Transat offering up flights from Edmonton that are nearly half that price. Typically in years past, it’s only been Calgary that has had prices like this to Europe.
Here’s how to find them…

1. http://www.airtransat.ca

2. Leaving from: Edmonton Going to: London, United Kingdom

Departing: May 7
Returning: May 14, 21, or 28

It looks like the very cheap flights to Costa Rica, Honduras, El Salvador, and Belize are back, but this time on Delta. They range from about $360 - $400 roundtrip after taxes!

Delta actually dropped theirs during the tail end of the fare war to Central America near mid-December, but they weren’t around very long (as in, less than 24 hours). And then shortly after that, the fare war was over, with prices going back up on all airlines. But now Delta is back (seemingly by themselves at this point) for another go-around.

The drops seem to be focused on mostly February and March. Here are some example searches to help find them…

Tegucigalpa, Honduras - $362 roundtrip after taxes (bad connections both ways)
http://www.kayak.com/flights/#YEG-TGU/2012-02-20-flexible/2012-03-01-flexible
http://www.kayak.com/flights/#YEG-TGU/2012-03-09-flexible/2012-03-19-flexible

Liberia, Costa Rica (LIR) - $381 roundtrip after taxes (decent connections both ways)
http://www.kayak.com/flights/#YEG-LIR/2012-02-23-flexible/2012-03-04-flexible

Belize City, Belize - $403 roundtrip after taxes (bad connections there, decent on the way back)

There’s a huge fare war to Amsterdam (AMS) going on at the moment. It’s extremely rare to see the major airlines drop a price to Europe like this from Edmonton that affects such a large range of dates. Actually, it’s extremely rare to see a price drop to Europe from Edmonton, period.

They look to have dropped the price of most flights that occur between now and mid-May 2012.

Here’s how to find them…

1. Go to http://www.kayak.com

2. Do a 3 day flexible date search for a roundtrip flight from Edmonton to Amsterdam that occurs between now and May 15, 2012.

3. The airlines involved in this fare war appear to be Air Canada and United/Continental. Some of the flights have good routings, some don’t.

What you want to do after your search on Kayak is click on the dropdown menu beside ‘Sort’ and choose ‘Duration (short to long)’.

Next, you’ll want to use the price slider on the left hand side and bring it down to $700 or so. Now you’re looking at the fastest flights that are under $700 roundtrip after taxes.

Here’s an example search in May 2012 to get you started:
http://www.kayak.com/flights/#YEG-AMS/2012-05-02-flexible/2012-05-09-flexible

Of course you can also use this as a ‘gateway’ flight to get somewhere else cheaply in Europe. Plenty of low-cost carriers have flights from Amsterdam.

You may remember that back around Labour Day there were some ridiculously cheap flights to Los Cabos, Mexico.

Try searching for a flight from Edmonton to ‘All Mexico’ on AirCanadaVacations.com (different from AirCanada.com)

Use the dates of September 24 to October 1.

Note that it requires an overnight stay in Calgary on the way back.

It looks like Alaska Airlines just dropped the price of their flights to Seattle down to $287 roundtrip after taxes.

Seattle is a nice little getaway city from Edmonton, but fares always seem to hover close to $500 these days and it’s rare to see them drop much lower than that. It’s nice to see a 40% drop off that bottom price.

The date range affected looks to be between now and early December. The date selection looks to be very good, with most days of the week affected by the drop.

Here’s an example search in October…

United, American Airlines, Continental, and Delta just engaged in a serious fare ware to Central America!

They’ve made an unadvertised price drop to Belize City (BZE) and Liberia, Costa Rica (LIR) down to $630 roundtrip after taxes.

The most affected prices look to be between now and January 2012, although the rest of 2012 looks to have dropped as well.

Belize is probably the most interesting to me, as Belize *never* seems to go on sale and almost always bottoms out at around $1000 roundtrip after tax.

There’s also the fact that United’s fairly quick, and relatively uncomplicated flights to Belize are part of the drop. There are a lot of complicated flights to Belize out there.

And on top of that, even Christmas looks to be available, which is amazing in and of itself.

So let’s start with a sample search to Belize over Christmas…

http://www.kayak.com/flights/YEG-BZE/2011-12-21-flexible/2012-01-04-flexible

Nice!

But try a flexible date search on Kayak between now and January 2012 to Belize City (BZE) and see what comes up for you.

The other thing you should do is click on ‘Stops’ to make sure you’re finding fast flights. Look for ones that are 1 stop each way in Houston. United looks to be the fastest.

Screenshot:

In addition to Belize City, you can find similar price to Liberia, Costa Rica (LIR). You can also try Costa Rica’s other major airport, San Jose (SJO) but prices are higher.

Roatan, Honduras (RTB) is another one that is part of this fare war.

No, I have no idea how long it will be available. It’s an unadvertised drop,and can come and go at any time.

Delta just made a large unadvertised price cut on their flights to Newark (EWR). It seems to have affected flights all the way up to August of 2012. Anyone thinking of going to New York in the next year may want to have a look today.

Here’s a search in June 2012 for example:

September 3rd to 10th from Edmonton to Los Cabos, Mexico (SJD) has dropped to $208 roundtrip after taxes. The next cheapest flights are around $580 so it’s a true 65% discount.

Try it on AirCanadaVacations.com (different from AirCanada.com)

Note that it requires an overnight stay in Calgary on the way back.

September 10-17 also looks to be available for the same price.

I just checked AirCanadaVacation’s website and the deal is still available at the time of this post. Make sure you go to AirCanadaVacations.com and NOT Air Canada’s main website and switch the search feature to “Flights” instead of Packages.

You might remember last week I was excited when flights to Thailand and Vietnam went under $1000 roundtrip after tax.

Well, today, Bangkok has dropped to the sub $900 price level, a new low that I’ve never seen before.

Edmonton to Bangkok, Thailand is at $891 CDN …
