Calgary to Athens, Greece - $916 roundtrip after tax
Similar to the flights to Cairo that I posted recently, it looks like KLM has also dropped the price of their flights to Athens, Greece.
Flights up until the end of March are down to $916 roundtrip after tax.
Try March 22-29 for example, on KLM.com
Normally the cheapest flights to Athens from Calgary these days are around $1200-$1300 roundtrip after tax.
Theoretically, it could be done cheaper, if you can catch an extremely cheap flight to London (like the ones under $700 roundtrip that I occasionally post, or even down to $520 on occasion).
And then from London, you can get to Athens and back on EasyJet for around $150ish, plus the nickle+dime fees, so it could be possible for, let's say, around $200ish roundtrip after taxes + fees. So London + Athens could be done for around $720 to $920 if the stars align.
But $916 on a major carrier is definitely a great price, without the hassle of a London + Easyjet combo.
Also on KLM, flights to
Copenhagen, Denmark (CPH) are down to $886 roundtrip after tax. Normally the cheapest are around $1100ish.
Calgary to Zurich, Switzerland in late June / early July 2011 - $719 roundtrip after tax
Condor's return to YYC this summer could be very good news indeed for Calgarians.
We've all seen the cheap flights to London or Manchester that come up every now and then, thanks to Air Transat, but it's nice to see another no-frills player in the mix to shake things up a bit to other cities. It could open up the possibility of some decent July/August prices to Europe as well.
There's some very interesting prices to Zurich, Switzerland at the moment. Try June 27 to July 8th on Condor.com for example:
Screenshot...
$719 roundtrip after tax. There definitely hasn't been anything that cheap to Zurich in a long time. If you've found anything around $1000 you're doing very well. Every other carrier in late June is around $1400-$1800ish at the moment. It's even more notable that Condor is offering this price so far in advance.
