Calgary to Alaska - $510 roundtrip after taxes - through to August 2013
26
August
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

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.

This post is a bit of a mish-mash, to a few different destinations. One deal is to Lima, Peru, which just dropped for August travel, while the other 3 are to Eastern U.S. cities that are the victim of a bit of a fare war going on at the moment.

Calgary to Georgetown, Guyana - $511 roundtrip after taxes

This is one for the truly adventurous travelers out there. Most people likely don't even know where Guyana is, much less have it on their travel wish-list. I have a feeling a lot of people might guess that Guyana is in Africa for some reason.

I've been waiting a long time for this! Turkey has always been near the top of my list of places on this planet that I want to check out (and it's a long list). Fares are *never* cheap though, and usually hover around a minimum of $1300-$1400 roundtrip after taxes.
