Vancouver to Sydney, Brisbane, or Melbourne, Australia - $949 CAD roundtrip including taxes | add San Francisco for free
29
June
For the first time in quite a while, there are some flights from Vancouver to cities in Australia for under $1000 roundtrip.
The flights are with Qantas, an excellent airline.
You can also turn these into 2-in-1 trips and visit both Australia and San Francisco (or Los Angeles), for under $1000.
You can also look at flying into one Australian city, but home from another, and keeping the price under $1000.
You may be able to find flights out of Victoria (YYJ) for about $80 to $100 more.
In the past few years, when prices to Australia start to drop significantly, Air Canada has been known to occasionally offer non-stop flights from Vancouver to Sydney or Brisbane for under $1000. No sign of those yet.
