Many choices from YVR.
The next segemnt is worth 35K, so even to buy a L fare to Victoria, Kelowna, Nanaimo one way is worth it. One way fares to Calgary are also great prices, if you can find the seats.
As for the 2,000... what about a Vegas weekend. Some packages include air on AC, don't they?
Checking Dream Maps (I don't know about availability) there seem to be many options...
