Edmonton to Singapore, Thailand, or The Philippines | from $639 roundtrip including taxes
24
September
There are some pretty crazy prices showing from Edmonton to a few Southeast Asia hub cities on Delta at the moment.
The cheapest verified prices I've seen so far are...
(roundtrip, including taxes)
Edmonton to Manila, Philippines (MNL) - $639 CAD
(new record, completely shattering the old record from 2011 by $250 !)
Edmonton to Singapore (SIN) - $713 CAD
(new record, also shattering the record set in 2011, by over $300)
Edmonton to Bangkok, Thailand (BKK) - $818 CAD
(also a new record, besting the $881 flights that showed up in 2011). Note that these flights are on United Airlines, who seems to be responding to these price drops.
How to find and book these flights...
1. Start by searching with Google Flights Explore. Set the destination as 'Southeast Asia' or to one of the three cities listed above (Singapore, Manila, or Bangkok)
Also be sure to set the Trip Length to 10-14 days.
Note that Google Flights Explore displays prices in $USD.
If Google Flights Explore is giving you trouble, try using the ITA Matrix. It uses the same data, but with a slightly more complicated interface.
2. Look for cheap date combinations. Write them down.
3. Take those date combinations and the destination involved and enter them into Kayak.
From Kayak, hit the Select button to take you to a place where they can be booked. So far I've had the best luck with clicking through from Kayak to the Delta Airlines website.
You can also try just searching directly on Delta.com, but it's usually easier to use Kayak to play around with date combinations and flight times.
Either way, after you've searched on Delta's site, the verified price will show in the bottom right corner...
If the price is different, it means the flight has sold out at that price. You may want to try different date combinations until it's been determined that the deal is dead.
If you have trouble seeing the cheaper prices on Kayak, try the American version of Kayak. The prices will be listed in $USD, but when you click through from Kayak to Delta, the price will convert to $CAD.
This is not an advertised sale, so it's impossible to say how long it will be around. Typically, I find that Delta's unadvertised price drops go back up within 24 hours.
