Vancouver to Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Prague - $200s to $500s roundtrip [Probably not bookable, but not sure]

Florence, Italy

UPDATE: I haven't seen any of these fares for about 8 hours, so it's possible the price issues with Air Canada have been fixed. Although I wouldn't be surprised to see them again.

A word of caution

For the past week or so, Air Canada has had a *lot* of issues with their fares not calculating correctly on various third party websites, which suggests it might be Air Canada themselves having the issues. They are often times significantly cheaper than usual, particularly to Europe.

For the most part these prices fail to verify once you go to try and book them. Upon verification the price jumps up considerably and the booking site apologizes. 'Sorry, your price has gone up!".

However, every now and then I've seen the prices verify, and the price remains cheap.

In regards to FlightHub specifically, here's what you need to watch for.

The search result will initially look something like this:



BUT, the price shown on this page is somewhat irrelevant. It may even show a cheaper price than expected.

What you need to do is click on the big orange 'SELECT' button.

On the page that follows, scroll down past...

TRAVEL INSURANCE
BAGGAGE TRACKING
BILLING ADDRESS

...keep going until you see...

PRICE SUMMARY

The price that loads here is the verified price.

Make sure it's the price you expect.

If it has jumped up in price from the previous page, the cheap price did not verify.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU TRY TO BOOK THESE.

If you do attempt booking them, you may want to take screenshots along the way.

If you take the gamble, give me a shout and let me know how it went.

Do NOT book anything non refundable related to the trip such as hotels, etc, for at least 72 hours.

And if you find any other working dates, those are certainly appreciated as well. I will update this post if I see any more.

Here are some examples

Below are some examples of verified prices I've seen.

In most cases, it is likely there are other dates that work.
