2 in 1 trip: Toronto to the Seychelles and Turkey - $917 CAD roundtrip including taxes
23
May
Turkish Airlines are showing some interesting price drops from Toronto to the Seychelles.
It's interesting because flights to the Seychelles typically do not go on sale, and the best prices are usually a minimum of around $1700 roundtrip. It's not uncommon to pay over $2000 for these same flights with Turkish Airlines.
With this deal you fly from Toronto to the Seychelles (spend time there), and then the Seychelles to Istanbul (spend time there), and then fly home to Toronto, all for about half of what it normally costs to visit the Seychelles alone.
It's also possible to just book a normal roundtrip flight to the Seychelles, without the extended stay in Turkey, although it would then require a long stopover in Istanbul (nearly a full day) on the way back.
The Seychelles are a beautiful island-country about 1500km off the Eastern coast of Africa.
Availability for travel
November and December 2016
NOTE: These are also two of the rainiest months of the year for the Seychelles. However, if Seychelles.org is to be believed, 'rain showers tend to be short, lasting just a few hours rather than days at a time'. The average high is still around 28-29 C.

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.
