Toronto to Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Philippines - $642 to $671 CAD roundtrip including taxes

Phuket, Thailand

China Eastern is showing some pretty amazing prices from Toronto to various destinations in SE Asia in October and November 2016.

The flights have one stop in Shanghai, China each way.

The flights to Phuket, Thailand stand out the most to me. It always costs more to get to Phuket than to Bangkok, and at $655 CAD roundtrip, it's about 50% below the typical best price between Toronto and Phuket.

At the moment, it's actually cheaper to get to Thailand and Singapore from Toronto than it is from Vancouver (Canada's gateway to Asia) - which is highly unusual.

Availability for travel

October and November 2016
December 2016 (latest you can depart is Nov 30 however)

Update 9/7 - There are a few 1-stop flights available from Toronto to Bangkok, Thailand for $634 CAD roundtrip including taxes that use Air Canada for the overseas leg of the journey instead of China Eastern.

1. Go to the Flight Centre website and try searching for a flight from Toronto (YYZ) to Bangok (BKK)

The tough part is finding dates with 1 stop and decent layover times for a cheap price.

These are the only dates I've seen so far that work:

Oct 18 to Nov 2
Oct 18 to Nov 4

The price should show up as $734 CAD roundtrip on Flight Centre.

However, Flight Centre is currently offering a promotion for $100 CAD off of any roundtrip flight from Toronto to anywhere in Asia, when using one of the following airlines.

Air Canada

,
Air China,
Cathay Pacific,
China Airlines
China Southern
Korean Airlines

There are no blackout dates.

The promotion expires on Sep 16, 2016.

4. When you call Flight Centre to book, they will subtract $100 from the price showing on their website.

The number to call is 1-877-967-5302.

Calling in, or visiting a Flight Centre location, is the only way to book and receive the $100 discount.
