Vancouver to Zagreb, Croatia - $741 CAD roundtrip including taxes

Condor Airlines has dropped the price of a few of their May flights from Vancouver to Zagreb, Croatia down to $741 CAD roundtrip including taxes.

The flights have 1 stop each way, in Frankfurt.

Availability for travel

May 2017

How to find and book this deal

1. Go to the Condor website

Change the currency from US$ to CA$ (Canadian)

2. Search for a flight from Vancouver (YVR) to Zagreb, Croatia (ZAG)

Try one of the following date combinations:

DEPARTURE dates
May 1, 2
May 8, 9

RETURN date
May 15

The price of the flights will show up as $699 CAD on Condor.com, but it will really end up costing $741 CAD, because Condor bills your credit card in Euros, which means your credit card company adds 2.5% to the transaction (and annoyingly, Condor doesn't mention this during the booking process). Condor also charges an additional fee just for booking with a credit card. And again, they don't mention this during the booking process.

But all told, the extra 2.5% foreign currency conversion fee, and the additional 'just for booking with a credit card fee' will mean that your credit card is ultimately charged a total of $741 CAD instead of the $699 CAD that is displayed on the Condor website.

Air Canada launches 'Rouge', a new leisure traveler focused airline - any good deals from Vancouver?

You may have heard that Air Canada was planning to start an LCC (low cost carrier) airline that caters to leisure travelers. Well today, they released some info on the name of the new carrier (Rouge), their slogan, and the first sampling of what destinations are available from Vancouver, and how much they'll cost.

There's a very interesting unadvertised sale going on with Delta at the moment, to many cities in Europe that never usually go on sale.
