Madness to Europe, Tunisia, and Morocco! Insane prices to many, many places in the $400s and $500s roundtrip including taxes
27
June
KLM and Air France dropped the prices from Vancouver to virtually everywhere they fly in Europe, Tunisia, and Morocco down into the $500s roundtrip including taxes today.
The list of destinations below will continue to grow. Refresh the blog post for the latest.
If it's on the map above, it's probably on sale.
These prices are also available from Victoria.
Availability for travel
Mostly October, November 2016, but also some in September, and in January/February/March 2017, depending on the destination.
You may want to focus on the destinations that are further south, as the weather will still be warmer in the fall.

Amsterdam, Athens, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Dublin, Istanbul, Lisbon, London, Paris, Rome
For more info on the Flight Centre promotion, check out this blog post.
Free stopovers in Amsterdam or Paris
It's generally possible to get a free stopover in Amsterdam using KLM, or in Paris using Air France.
Below are some more destinations in Europe that *may* be available in the $400s to $600s roundtrip including taxes.
It's overwhelming to list them all, so I've focused on destinations that are either further south in Europe (warmer in September, October, November), or just popular places in general.
It's impossible to verify that the prices are bookable for every destination. Have a look on Google Flights, and try booking either from Google Flights to the airline's website, or through the third party booking sites mentioned below:
Expedia
(Even when Google Flights can't seem to find a way to book it for the displayed price, it's worth trying the booking sites above, as they may be able to).
In some cases, the flights may be through British Airways, with a change of airport required, so watch out for that.
Algiers, Algeria
Alicante, Spain
Helsinki, Finland
Cork, Ireland
Shannon, Ireland
Belfast, Ireland
Krakow, Poland
Malaga, Spain
Oporto, Portugal
Oslo, Norway
Prague, Czech Republic
Seville, Spain
Thessaloniki, Greece
Copenhagen, Denmark
Budapest, Hungary
Ibiza, Spain
Larnaca, Cyprus
Palma, Majorca, Spain
London, United Kingdom
Izmir, Turkey
Paris, France
Geneva, Switzerland
Venice, Italy
Glasgow, Scotland
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Zurich, Switzerland
Manchester, United Kingdom
Nice, France
Tirana, Albania
Bologna, Italy
Rabat, Morocco
Toulouse, France
Florence, Italy
Naples, Italy
Marseille, France
Basel, Switzerland
Pisa, Italy
Vienna, Austria
Newcastle, England
Turin, Italy
Bordeaux, France
Milan, Italy
Faro, Portugal
Catania, Italy
Rome, Italy
Cagliari, Italy
Edinburgh, Scotland
Lyon, France
Munich, Germany
Tenerife, Spain
Nantes, France
Lumqa, Malta
Split, Croatia
TIP: Even though Google Flights only shows prices up to May 2017...
... you can book flights through FlightHub using dates up to about the third week of June 2017.
There are some pretty cheap prices starting to appear for May and June 2017 travel to Europe.
example: Vancouver - Barcelona, Spain for $616 CAD roundtrip including taxes. May 17 to 31, 2017.
Any destination in Europe would be worth trying at the moment.
I'm not sure if Flight Centre is able to book the late May / June 2017 flights or not. Their online calendar does not go that far ahead, but perhaps it's possible over the phone. For the promo itself, there are no blackout dates.
Non-stop flights from Vancouver to Amsterdam or London are potentially available for as low as $439 to $489 CAD roundtrip including taxes
Air Canada has dropped their non-stop flights from Vancouver to London (LHR), England down to $589 CAD roundtrip including taxes in September, October, and November 2016. And January to May 2017. With the Flight Centre promo, it should be possible to book these flights for $489.
Google Flights search: Vancouver to London, non-stop
Non-stop flights from Vancouver to Amsterdam, Netherlands for $539 CAD roundtrip including taxes are available in October and November 2016. And January to March 2017. With the Flight Centre promo, it should be possible to book these flights for $439.
Google Flights search: Vancouver to Amsterdam, non-stop
6/28 - Morning update
Still seeing the low prices this morning. It's worth trying Expedia, FlightHub, FlightNetwork, ITravel2000 or Momondo, even when Google Flights doesn't provide a booking option.
Added a few more destinations to the list above that have been showing up with low prices...
Izmir, Turkey
Geneva, Switzerland
Glasgow, Scotland
Manchester, England
Nice, France
Basel, Switzerland
The Star Alliance (Air Canada, Lufthansa, etc) started matching prices yesterday evening. You can try setting the 'Star Alliance' filter in Google Flights to see what's available (it's under 'Airline').
6/29 @ 10:40 PM PST - The prices on Google Flights have gone back up
This is probably a sign that the deal is ending.
At the moment, relatively low prices in the $400s and $500s roundtrip are still verifying on Expedia from Vancouver to Dublin. The situation may be the same for other destinations. This likely won't last too much longer!

Hello there!
Those are awesome deals! Thanks for sharing again! One question that you might be able to answer quickly. Those flights connect in CDG (most of them), what if we are looking into going to Paris within those dates, but when I look at YVR-CDG the prices are a lot more expensive, could I then book a YVR-MAD flights (at a cheaper price) and decide to not take my CDG-MAD flight? Do you airlines and/or countries have rules against that?
Thanks!
I think they cancel your return if you don't show up for a prob of your flight, you could probably do a stop over though!
I'm curious about this too...costs roughly 1/3 of the price to achieve the same thing....
Unfortunately all airlines will usually automatically cancel the remaining legs of your ticket, as soon as you intentionally miss one of the legs. So it can really only be done with a one way flight, or a roundtrip flight that happens to stop in your departure city on the way home.
How do you look at the winter 2017 rates? I wasn't able to look that far ahead on the calendars, I must be missing something..
Kristin: I've changed the wording. It was confusing people. January, February, March 2017 are the winter months available.
ahh makes sense, thanks for the speedy reply!
Star Alliance is Matching!
Which cities are available for 2017?
Does anyone know if any of the destinations are for direct flights?
Thanks! Booked openjaw tickets into Frankfurt and out of Florence for September at $650 and $693 was hard to find the flights listed on Google when working with an agency or Expedia, ended up with a very long layover on the second return flight with combo found on Expedia
Oops, forgot to mention, KLM and AF flights were gone by late afternoon so ended up with AC and LH
Planning to fly to RAK from YVR with a stopover at AMS (there's layover already).
Does anyone know how to add a stopover at AMS for free for a week or so? Thanks!
