I'm trying to find a flight that will allow me to get from Paris to Vancouver no later than the afternoon on october 31st. There's only one flight I've found that looks good, a delta flight that arrives around 4pm. Other than that there seem to be lots of flights on various airlines leaving Paris in the afternoon and arriving in Vancouver at 9-11PM (with 1 connection).

So I guess my first question is, is this really the only flight that arrives before late evening? It doesn't leave particularly early in the morning, I guess I'm surprised that I can't find anything else that comes in earlier.

Second question...are there no red eyes? I haven't seen any red eyes from CDG to AUS or YVR. I'm wondering if I'm missing some airlines in my searches. I've been using kayak.com and my company's amex booking search. Are there other sites or specific airlines I should check?

I wont be 100% confirmed to book until next week sometime, and the prices are increasing rapidly...so I will likely need other options beyond that one delta flight.

Thanks!
Have you tried using the "multi-city" function of your company's AMEX booking search engine?

There are no direct flights between CDG and YVR!

You will have to try multiple cities to connect at.

I don't know which company you work for, but the company where I work for actually discourages the use of AMEX's booking search engine and asks us to phone AMEX directly if international trips are to be booked. We only use the AMEX booking engine for domestic / North American flights.
