Fly from Canada for summer flight deals to Paris and many destinations in Europe. Flights originating from Canada to Europe, especially from Vancouver YVR, are hundreds of dollars less compared to the cost of flights to Europe from west coast cities like Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Some cities in Europe like Barcelona and Paris are about half price compared to fare prices from USA airports for summer 2015 travel. Canada fares in the $700 to $800 range are $500 to $700 less than flights to Europe from US cities like Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver and Chicago for travel in the summer months.
Here are two examples of the fare difference between Canada and USA departures from Vancouver compared to Seattle for European destinations. I could list dozens of city pairs with low fares to Europe from Canada at deep discounts compared to US cities.
Spending some miles or dollars to fly from your US city to a Canadian city might save you more than $1,000 USD on a summer 2015 trip to Europe for two.
