Vancouver to Dublin, Ireland - $615 roundtrip including taxes | August 2015

Currently there are flights showing on WestJet in August 2015 from Vancouver to Dublin, Ireland (DUB) for $615 roundtrip including taxes.

Previously I was noticing these super cheap flights on select dates in September & October, but $600 roundtrip flights to Europe during a peak summer travel month like August? That's a whole new level of deal.

There is a caveat though. Most of Westjet's flights from Western Canada to Europe involve multiple stops each way. Usually they stop at least once in Eastern Canada (Toronto, typically) and then again in Newfoundland to refuel for the journey across the pond.

There are some that still have pretty reasonable travel times overall, considering the multiple stops.

How to find and book these flights

At the moment, I'm only seeing the August 2015 flights on FlightHub. This worries me a little bit, because I have seen a small number of cases of people thinking they have something booked on FlightHub, only to turn out it was a ticket that could not really be issued at the price quoted.

But on the other hand, I've also been seeing similar fares directly on WestJet.com the past few days, albeit on select dates in September and October, which does lend credence to this being a bookable fare.

Here's how to find the ones in August on FlightHub....

1. Go to FlightHub and search for Vancouver to Dublin. Use one of the following date combinations...

August 18-31 direct link, 2 adults, $578
