Our (2 adults + 1 infant) dates for Dublin are leaving around 26-29th March and coming back on 12th April. My mother got a good price coming to Calgary in July on a site called edreams.com, so I searched on there and the best price I've found is 518 euro ($780CDN) going through Amsterdam. That's certainly the best price I've found in my searching.
Is there anything else out there? Are there likely to be better deals available in the coming weeks?

Hi Cameron,
Yes, that $300 something dollar flight to Dublin was definitely unusual, and most likely a mistake fare. The odds of it happening again, to the destination you want it to happen for are....well.... remote.
I took a look at the site you mentioned, and tried the dates you mentioned, but couldn't see anything lower than $1200.
1. Can you tell me what dates you're entering to get a fare of $780 CDN?
2. Any idea if that was the before or after tax price ?
3. Which 'country version' of the site are you using? I noticed that you quoted in Euros.
The cheapest I can see is about $1100 after tax, so I'd definitely be interested in finding out if it's really available for $780.
Europe is really expensive right now, even London, typically the cheapest, is close to a grand except for some January fares.
