Saskatoon to Zagreb, Croatia - $757 CAD roundtrip including taxes | spring 2016 travel
27
October
KLM and partners are at it again, offering some extremely deep discounts on travel to Europe, on dates up to spring 2016.
This time it's from Saskatoon to Zagreb, Croatia (ZAG) - a European destination that's usually pricier than most in terms of airfare. This is about 40-50% cheaper than usual.
And no, that is not Zagreb in the picture (it's a place called Dugi Otok). Head to the coast and the beautiful islands.
Availability
Nov 2015 to May 2016
It would not be surprising to see June 2016 availability at some point, based on what I've seen from other Canadian cities.

Note: It appears that there may be some limited May 2015 dates that are not showing up on Google Flights, such as May 4 or 5 to May 18 or 19.

Let's Talk Turkey - A how-to guide for planning your trip

Back in mid June, KLM Canada held a little contest that resulted in some temporarily amazing prices to Istanbul from across the country. Judging by the number of e-mails, Tweets, and Facebook messages I received, I think it's safe to say there will be thousands more Canadians than usual visiting Turkey later this year and in the spring of 2013.

Saskatoon to Istanbul, Turkey - from $743 roundtrip after taxes!

I've been waiting a long time for this! Turkey has always been near the top of my list of places on this planet that I want to check out (and it's a long list). Fares are *never* cheap though, and usually hover around a minimum of $1300-$1400 roundtrip after taxes.
