Calgary to Alaska - $510 roundtrip after taxes - through to August 2013


There's some unusually cheap fares from Calgary to Alaska occurring on Air Canada, Delta, and United at the moment. The typical bottom price to Alaska is around $700 roundtrip after taxes, with summer fares being even higher, in the range of $800-$900ish.

So it was a great surprise today to see fares throughout the schedule that were 30-40% cheaper than their typical bottom price. Significant price movement to Alaska is unusual, and I'm struggling to think of another time where I've seen a fare war to there from anywhere in Canada.

It looks to have affected fares all the way up to August 2013!

Here's how to find them...

1. Search for a flight to Anchorage, Alaska on Google Flights

7 night trips
http://www.google.com/flights/#search;f=YYC;t=ANC;d=2012-09-22;r=2012-09-29

10 night trips
http://www.google.com/flights/#search;f=YYC;t=ANC;d=2012-09-26;r=2012-10-06

2. Click on the Calendar icon - this is an important step, as it shows you where the cheapest fares are occurring throughout the year.

3. When you see a date range you like, click on it. Then scroll down and choose your outbound flight. And then choose your return flight. And then click on Book with Air Canada, or Book with United, or Book with Delta, whatever the case may be.

Huge fare war from Calgary to Amsterdam - $616 roundtrip after taxes - affecting fares up to May 2012

There's a huge fare war to Amsterdam (AMS) going on at the moment. You do see the occasional charter flight on Air Transat to Amsterdam that drops down to this level, but it's extremely rare to see nearly all the major airlines drop a price to Europe like this that affects such a large range of dates.

Incredible, an Air Canada sale that really is a sale

Update: Westjet looks to have just matched the Air Canada sale. Today looks to be an amazing day for inter-Canada travel prices.
Westjet doesn't seem to have an official page up yet about their sale, they're probably scrambling to get their prices changed to match Air Canada.
