Segment run: Need 5 segments for E50k. How to find least expensive option?
 
Based on my current bookings, it looks like I'll finish the year with 45 segments, which means I'll need five more to reach E50k.

What are some ways find the lowest cost options for my remaining segments to reach E50k?

I'm based in YOW if that matters.

Thanks :)

I dont remember all the details but a segment run to the east coast was mentioned before. I believe it was YOW-YUL-YYT-YHZ and reverse.

Use Google Flights. All your cheapest options will be in the US.

OP, just a reminder that you need to meet AQD as well.

also avoid major airports, they have higher user fees

here is a run for roughly $50 cad/segment, 6 segments

Couple of hotel nights does jack up the price a bit.

Here's 4 segments, same-day, at $75 per. I doubt you'd have to work too hard to turn that return into two segments.

Thanks for everyone's input. I went with a six segment run yow-yyz-yul-ysj-yhz-yyz-yow for a total of $282.15 (and 2h15 in props, lol).
