Vancouver to Sweden, Norway, Denmark | $697 to $787 roundtrip including taxes | May and Fall 2015

April
There are some unusually low prices from Vancouver to countries in Scandinavia (Sweden, Norway, Denmark) showing up on a variety of airlines at the moment. British Airways, Finnair, Lufthansa, United, Air Canada, and American Airlines all look to be involved.
Dates that have dropped in price
A variety of dates in May, June, September, and October 2015.
When to go
When it comes to countries that are further north, the closer you can get to July/August weather (warmest of the year), the better. September can be a good compromise between the weather and probability of seeing northern light activity.

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 huge fare war to Amsterdam (AMS) going on at the moment. You do see the occasional charter flight on Air Transat to Amsterdam that drops down to this level, but it's extremely rare to see many of the major airlines drop a price to Europe like this that affects such a large range of dates.

United and Continental just dumped the price of their flights to Taipei, Taiwan in a serious way. They're down to $743 roundtrip after tax at the moment, which is even 20% cheaper than Air China who is usually 20% cheaper than everyone else. It's even 20% cheaper than out of Seattle. This is definitely the cheapest I've ever seen flights to Taiwan.
