Huge fare war from Halifax to Amsterdam - $615 roundtrip after taxes - affecting fares up to May 2012
31
October
There's a huge fare war to Amsterdam (AMS) going on at the moment. It's extremely rare to see the major airlines drop a price to Europe like this from Halifax.
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 https://www.kayak.com
2. Do a 3 day flexible date search for a roundtrip flight from Halifax to Amsterdam that occurs between now and May 15, 2012.
3. The airlines involved in this fare war appear to be Air Canada and United/Continental. 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 $750 or so. Now you're looking at the fastest flights that are under $750 roundtrip after taxes.
Here's an example search in April 2012 to get you started:

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.

This is the cheapest flights to Calgary have been in years - $347 roundtrip after tax!

May
Update @ 12 AM: The promo code (which expired at midnight) made this deal a bit better, but the real key here was the large drop on the base fare. Looks like it works out to $383 roundtrip after tax without the promo code, which is still a pretty amazing price for Halifax to Calgary, especially for summer. And as of this writing, still available.

Incredible, an Air Canada sale that really is a sale

Update: Westjet looks to have just matched the Air Canada sale. Today looks to be an amazing day for inter-Canada travel prices.
Westjet doesn't seem to have an official page up yet about their sale, they're probably scrambling to get their prices changed to match Air Canada.
