I just saw this incredible flight deal posted over at our friends Chris Myden’s site YYC Deals.

It looks like Air Transat just dropped the price of their May fares to Paris, France by a good chunk.

It’s notable because unlike their flights to London or Manchester, they rarely seem to significantly discount their flights to Paris. It also makes them about 40% cheaper than the cheapest flights to Paris on the major airlines.

Here’s how to find them…

1. http://www.airtransat.ca

2. Leaving From: Calgary
Flying To: Paris, France

Departure Date: May 10 or 17
Returning Date: May 18 or 25

3. Hit Find Flights

It looks like the very cheap flights to Costa Rica, Honduras, El Salvador, and Belize are back, but this time on Delta. They range from about $360 – $400 roundtrip after taxes!

Delta actually dropped theirs during the tail end of the fare war to Central America near mid-December, but they weren’t around very long (as in, less than 24 hours). And then shortly after that, the fare war was over, with prices going back up on all airlines. But now Delta is back (seemingly by themselves at this point) for another go-around.

The drops seem to be focused on mostly February and March. Here are some example searches to help find them…

Tegucigalpa, Honduras – $362 roundtrip after taxes (bad connections both ways)

Liberia, Costa Rica (LIR) – $381 roundtrip after taxes (decent connections both ways)

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 nearly all the major airlines drop a price to Europe like this that affects such a large range of dates.

They look to have dropped the price of most flights that occur between now and mid-May 2012.

Here’s how to find them…

1. Go to http://www.kayak.com

2. Do a 3 day flexible date search for a roundtrip flight from Calgary to Amsterdam that occurs between now and May 15, 2012.

3. The airlines involved in this fare war appear to be Air Canada, United/Continental, Lufthansa, American Airlines, and possibly others. Some of the flights have good routings, some don’t.

What you want to do after your search on Kayak is click on the dropdown menu beside ‘Sort’ and choose ‘Duration (short to long)’.

Next, you’ll want to use the price slider on the left hand side and bring it down to $650 or so. Now you’re looking at the fastest flights that are under $650 roundtrip after taxes.

Here’s an example search in May 2012 to get you started:

http://www.kayak.com/flights/#YYC-AMS/2012-05-09-flexible/2012-05-16-flexible

Of course you can also use this as a ‘gateway’ flight to get somewhere else cheaply in Europe. Plenty of low-cost carriers have flights from Amsterdam.

You may remember that back around Labour Day there were some ridiculously cheap flights to Los Cabos, Mexico.

Well it looks like AirCanadaVacations has dropped another one, for anyone that can leave last minute.

Try searching for a flight from Calgary to ‘All Mexico’ on AirCanadaVacations.com (different from AirCanada.com)

Use the dates of September 24 to October 1.

It looks like Alaska Airlines just dropped the price of their flights to Seattle down to $267 roundtrip after taxes.

Seattle is a nice little getaway city from Calgary, but fares always seem to hover over $400 these days and it’s rare to see them drop lower than that. It’s nice to see a 33% drop off that bottom price.

The date range affected looks to be between now and early December. The date selection looks to be very good, with most days of the week affected by the drop.

Here’s an example search in October…

(Yes, Scotland is in the UK too, it’s a poorly worded title, sorry)

Air Transat has been putting the axe to their late September and October prices, notably to…

Glasgow, Scotland
London, England
Manchester, England

October 19-26 from Calgary to Glasgow looks to be the cheapest ($568) but other dates in late September and early October aren’t much more.

Late September/Early October seems to have the cheap ones to London Gatwick ($589) and Manchester ($592).

To find them, you can try a flexible date search on www.AirTransat.ca

You can use these cheap fares to go anywhere in Europe for a good price. For example, I’ve been thinking of going to Turkey, and you can fly between London and Istanbul for around $232 roundtrip after taxes on Air France.

That makes for a total cost of around $800 for the two flights, versus around $1300 for one flight between Calgary and Turkey.

United/Continental just made a large unadvertised price cut on their flights to New York City’s Laguardia airport (LGA). It seems to have affected flights all the way up to August of 2012.

Anyone thinking of going to New York in the next year may want to have a look today. While I *have* seen the occasional cheaper flight from Calgary to NYC in the past, I’ve never seen a price drop like this that affected such a large date range.

Here’s a search in June 2012 for example:

http://www.kayak.com/flights/#YYC-NYC/2012-06-13-flexible/2012-06-20-flexible

Screenshot:

That’s about 45% cheaper than the next cheapest airline! Try any month between now and August 2012 and you’re likely to see the dropped fares.

There’s even a cheap one over New Years, and that never happens.

http://www.kayak.com/flights/#YYC-NYC/2011-12-28-flexible/2012-01-04-flexible

No, I don’t know how long it will be available. Unadvertised price cuts like this can come and go on a moment’s notice. In my experience, unadvertised cuts on United/Continental don’t usually stick around for more than 24-48 hours.
