Suggestion for a cheap one-way fare from either Vancouver or Seattle to Europe.
I decided to create this thread here to try to get more suggestions on what to do. Long story short, I already have a fare from London to Vancouver. I just want to buy a cheap fare from either Vancouver or Seattle to Europe. I just want to go where the fare will take me.
Unfortunately due to the amount of time that I took to figure out what to do, the SEA-FRA route via KEF with FI went from $440 to $530 for April 5, 2012. Does anyone here know of anything else for that date? It could be a few days after the 5th and that's fine. I'm looking for something under $500 if possible.
Thanks for the help in advance!

Air Berlin, Edelweiss, and Condor all fly to/from YVR and have one way fares, often quite attractive especially at the start/end of the season (May, and September/October) I know that may be too late for your purposes, however.
Virgin Atlantic is flying to/from YVR as of May, so that may not help.
But there are charters which fly, such as Air Transat. I have no idea of their routings/timetables, but it may be worth checking.
