I do not know whether this is a standard deal, but I was looking at going to Vancouver.

I live in Philly and I usually fly from PHL-SEA and get my parents to pick me up at the SEA and drive up to Vancouver.

This year, I noticed that the flights are a LOT more expensive than prior years.

However, I just noticed that Cathay Pacific - if you book through their website - has GREAT price for going DIRECTLY to Vancouver from JFK.
(non-stop flight)

There is a flight every day and even coming back on 5th of July or 6th of July was same price.

it is $415.24 / pp round trip tax and fees included ($310 + $105.24 in taxes)

Only issue was that departure from NYC is 11PM EST (works out for me since I can actually work full day and then go so I can leave on Friday night) and coming back to the NYC, arrival is at 9:15PM EST.

Hopefully someone can use this information.

(The price was for booking June 20th to July 5th - All the dates around those days were same price)
