Sydney, Australia

For the first time in quite a while, there are some flights from Edmonton to cities in Australia for under $1000 roundtrip.

The flights are with Qantas, an excellent airline.

You can also turn these into 2-in-1 trips and visit both Australia and San Francisco (or Los Angeles), for under $1000.

You can also look at flying into one Australian city, but home from another, and keeping the price under $1000.
