Have a look at some ways to score an Emily in Paris moment on the cheap.
One-way flights from Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»to Paris
Prices for flights from Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»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 Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»to Paris
Travellers looking for return options also have a wide selection of low-cost options.
A flight departing Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»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.
