Travellers can catch ultra-low-cost flights from Vancouver to Paris, France this fall.
After the madness from the mid-summer Paris Olympics dies down, flight prices to the City of Love drop, too.
Locals can enjoy tickets from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) for under $300 for one-way tickets and approximately $600 return.
Have a look at some ways to score an Emily in Paris moment on the cheap.
One-way flights from Vancouver to Paris
Prices for flights from Vancouver to Paris remain elevated through August and the first half of September, dropping down to around $350 for one-way options toward the end of the month. Prices make a significant drop in late October, with some tickets costing under $300.
While the first week of November sees a slight spike in costs, the rest of the month shows low-cost options available nearly every day.
For example, a flight departing on Wednesday, Nov. 13 stops in Kelowna and Calgary before arriving in Paris and costs $291 when booked directly through WestJet; the first stopover is just under an hour and the second is about two (see slide four).
Travellers who prefer one-stop itineraries don't have to fork out much more. A ticket booked on the same day that only makes a stop in Calgary costs $312 (see slide two).
Prices are even cheaper when tickets are booked through third-party suppliers, starting at $275. According to Google Flights, this price is considered "low" for economy tickets at this time of year (see slide three).
Round-trip flights from Vancouver to Paris
Travellers looking for return options also have a wide selection of low-cost options.
A flight departing Vancouver on Tuesday, Nov.12 stops in Kelowna and Calgary and makes one stop in Calgary after returning from Paris on Tuesday, Nov. 26.
The ticket costs $631 when booked directly through WestJet but can cost as little as $596 through a third-party supplier.
According to Google Flights, $596 is low for the Economy class and is about $464 cheaper than usual (see slide five).
All prices are in Canadian dollars.
