KLM is having another voting contest on flights from Vancouver

Similar to the crazy deal to Turkey last year, KLM Canada is having another voting contest on 5 destinations from Vancouver. The destination that gets the most votes will be put on sale for $850 roundtrip after taxes for travel from October 2013 to May 2014.
Based purely on the typical bottom price, I'd say they would all be a good deal on destinations that rarely come up for sale from Vancouver. At $850, I'd rank them in order of discount off the typical bottom price as...
Moscow, Russia (-37%)
Lisbon, Portugal (-37%)
Copenhagen, Denmark (-35%)
Warsaw, Poland (-32%)
Edinburgh, Scotland (-28%)
So I'd say they're all fairly equal in terms of deal strength. Personally, I'll probably vote for Edinburgh or Lisbon, but I'm not as excited about any of the available destinations as I was about $750 roundtrip to Turkey.
The date availability (mid October to early May) kind of hurts these mostly northern European destinations in terms of a good time of year to visit in my opinion, which is one reason I'd tend towards Lisbon, being a coastal city that's further south.
As always, you can also get a free stopover in Amsterdam for however long you want on KLM.
Last time KLM had a contest like this, other airlines matched the price when the winning destination was announced, so watch for that as well..

Back in mid June, KLM Canada held a little contest that resulted in some temporarily amazing prices to Istanbul from across the country. Judging by the number of e-mails, Tweets, and Facebook messages I received, I think it's safe to say there will be thousands more Canadians than usual visiting Turkey later this year and in the spring of 2013.

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.

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.
