Toronto to Turkey, Israel, or a few places in Europe | $599 roundtrip including taxes

Air France
Istanbul, Turkey
The easiest way to see which date combinations are available is to start your search with Google Flights Explore, like this...
https://www.google.ca/flights/explore/#explore;f=YYZ;t=IST,SAW;li=10;lx=14
If you need to browse past February 2015, you may need to use these links:
February 2015 - March 2015 - April 2015
Once you've found a date combination you like, try a 3 day flexible date search on Kayak
From Kayak, you can click through to a number of different sites to book the fare, such as KLM's own website,
example screenshot from KLM.com...
As far as I can tell, the available date range is quite large, from around October 20, 2014 to about mid April 2015.
Tel-Aviv, Israel
Similarly, there were also some pretty ridiculous price drops to Tel-Aviv, Israel (TLV). Yes, flights to Israel for under $600 return, including taxes. Crazy.
Start your search in a similar fashion, using Google Flights Explore again...
https://www.google.ca/flights/explore/#explore;f=YYZ;t=TLV;li=11;lx=14
And then try your search again on Kayak, and then click through from Kayak to a booking site (such as KLM's own website).
Europe
There have also been some price drops from Toronto to a few places in Europe across the same date range (October through April) on Air France, KLM, and Delta, and Alitalia.
Here are the European cities that seem to have dropped, from what I can see:
(prices are roundtrip, including taxes, in $CAD)
Dublin, Ireland (DUB) - $572
Luxembourg (LUX) - $580 - just added
Brussels, Belgium (BRU) - $588
Basel, Switzerland (BSL) - $599
Geneva, Switzerland (GVA) - $602
Copenhagen, Denmark (CPH) - $610
Munich, Germany (MUC) - $675
Newcastle, England (NCL) - $677
Glasgow, Scotland (GLA) - $679
Edinburgh, Scotland (EDI) - $683
For the flights to Europe, again, you might want to start with Google Flights Explore. Start with a search from Toronto (YYZ) to Europe.
Also keep in mind that with Air France you can usually get a free extended stopover in Paris, France on your way to your destination city. The same goes for Amsterdam with KLM.
Multi City Trips
You can also find some great multi-city trips, involving Paris or Amsterdam, and the destinations listed above.
For example, here's a flight from Toronto to Istanbul (IST) for 5 days, then Istanbul to Paris (CDG) for 2 days, and then the flight back home from Paris to Toronto (YYZ) - all for under $650 CAD including taxes, and it's even over the Family Day long weekend.
I've found that Orbitz is a good place for verifying and booking these Multi-City flights. Just change the flight type from Round Trip to Multi-City when you start your search.
Here's a screenshot of the example Multi-City flight above:
(Note: Orbitz displays prices in $USD)
If anyone spots any other European destinations that have dropped in a similar fashion, share what you find, to help others. These are not advertised price drops, so it's impossible to say how long they will last.
