2019!

Please use this thread to post or to follow Economy Fares which are 'Good Deals' but where the cost per mile is more than 3-4 cents per mile, which is the usual upper limit for what is considered a true 'MR Deal'.

A few requests for posting in the thread:

DTW to Paris for 290-330 RT depending on Air Canada, United, and Lufthansa. Lots of availability on dates for dates in February to late April/May and starting again in September through the end of the year. This price only includes a carry on so pack light!

yeh it wouldn’t let me find it if you searched directly with Paris
so search Detroit to Europe using one week dates over six months->then look for Paris and you should be able to see the dates. So first search destination as Europe and look for Paris

If anyone gets this Paris thing to ticket, let me know. All the blogs had SEA-CDG, granted they showed like a couple months availability, I'm looking for end of Oct return early Nov. I did my searching, found LOTS of great prices, all of which skyrocketed when I went to pay. I tried looking for the DTW thing (way less appealing than SEA as I'm YVR based, but I can position) and didn't find prices anywhere close to the "advertised" rate.

Can you please share what blogs you typically use to find such deals? Thanks. Per my search, it seems the aforementioned DTW-CDG deal is expired.

I'll send you a PM, I think they frown upon mentioning the blogs outwardly iirc

Air North (4N) surprises me again with very specific one-off routes and deals - remember, the fare includes two pieces of checked luggage (up to 45 kg combined weight, no more than 32 kg per piece), soft drinks, a snack, and a comfortable seat pitch. No miles to be earned.

YOW Ottawa to YHZ Halifax CAD 159 on July 9, 17, and 18

YHZ Halifax to YOW Ottawa CAD 153 on July 10, 12, and 13

YHZ Halifax to YVR Vancouver (stop in YOW) CAD 337 on July 10

YVR Vancouver to YHZ Halifax (refuelling stop in YWG) CAD 334 on July 18

YXY Whitehorse to YHZ Halifax (stops in YZF and YOW) CAD 399 on July 9, 17, 18

YHZ Halifax to YXY Whitehorse (stops in YOW and YZF) CAD 429 on July 12, 13

There are also flights from YZF Yellowknife to YHZ Halifax and from YHZ Halifax to YZF Yellowknife on some of those days, but I haven't checked the prices.

July 18, you can also fly from YXY to YHZ with a plane chage in YVR, but you have to book that over the phone with Air North.

Oh, Air North unveiled another one, already departing in a few days:

March 14 YOW to YXY: CAD 370
March 22 YXY to YOW: CAD 319
These are nonstop, which is unusual for this route. Price includes 2 checked bags, a meal, softdrinks - and zero change fee!

Shorter flights:
YVR to YLW for just CAD 89!
March 22, April 19, 23

YLW to YVR for CAD 94
April 16, 23, 30

Air North just added a 20% off sale got flights from April 14 to September 2, which makes some of the above-mentioned flights even cheaper. Book by Match 19.

However, I'm not sure if the current zero-change-fee offer applies to the discounted tickets.

Smile Westjet - 4 one way trips to LGW for < $300US.

Use Flighthub. Neither Expedia (changes all segments to same date) or Orbitz (error on payment) work. Flights must be within a couple weeks of each other. But Flighthub charges $75 to cancel within 24 hours, so need to be sure before paying. Also, Westjet says it will now cancel flights for 30 days from March 23rd.


$40 more from Calgary:
