Finland Super-Bargain only from YWG

I've analyzed this incredible deal a number of ways:

Is it from all Canadian cities? No.
Is it to all major European destinations? No
Is it just one airline? No (All the big players are in on this price war.)
Is it just a few select dates? No.  (Bargains can be found right thru May 2016)
Is it just from Delta cities? No  (Prices are higher in the USA)

Here are the screenshots, take August 7th.  Please keep in mind that "C" in front of a price means Canadian Funds. US cities are shown is US dollars. (Thus converted to Canadian funds would be 25% higher still)  Everything is shown round-trip all taxes and fees included, except for the second photo which is a one-way fare, used for comparison.  Charts and analysis at shown below from the "On The Fly" app, which I absolutely love.

Even Manitoba Spring Break has a super price. (Departing March 27) But you have to fly back April 4th to get the best bargain. In some school divisions this would mean missing the first day back.

Prices are subject to change without notice.

Half price of the typical fare. It's like a 2 for 1 deal. 

One way is more expensive than a return trip!

Base fare is just $130 to/from YWG to HEL. That's crazy! You'd pay more for dinner at The Keg.














Paris, $300 more as a destination. BUT, if you plan your Delta flights right, you can have a stopover in Paris for free.

Helsinki? Adventure Awaits



There is a remarkable flight sale on right now. If you have ever dreamt of visiting Finland, you need to jump on this deal.

From Winnipeg, Manitoba (YWG) to Helsinki, Finland (HEL) for about $600, but as low as $558, depending on dates. There are lots of great dates in November, early December and late January for around $600.  (This is about half price!)  Many airlines participating in this sale, including Delta, KLM, Air Canada, Air France.

Paired with hotel for 5 or 6 nights, it can be had for under $1000. (shown below) Yes, that's return flights, hotel and taxes all included.

In November, the temperature is near 2C. It is the beginning of the winter season, similar in climate to Manitoba, except that it will be more of a damp cold due to it proximity to the Baltic Sea.

Visit your favourite agent to jump on this deal before it disappears.  There's even an opportunity for a stop over in Paris at no extra charge, if you book your flight times right!

Helsinki tourism link will whet your appetite for this adventure.

Finland is also the site of this year's World Juniors Hockey. However, during this event, prices will be much higher.
