Bringing my parents out here for a month at the end of January. Happened to look at prices last night and saw them at roughly $418usd each so had to book them.

Will be my first time seeing my parents in nearly 4 years. Will also be my dad's first time meeting my wife and daughter. Also his first time outside of North America (furthest he has ever been is Mexico and that was the only time he left Canada in the last 40 years).

Couldn't believe how cheap the flights were. Cheapest I ever paid for a round trip flight to Asia was $1,200 to Bangkok. Costs about as much to fly round trip from Edmonton to Toronto...

That will be an amazing trip for them. Knowing someone who lives in the country you're going to makes all the difference in the world.

Air Canada surprisingly. In my experience they have always been ridiculously expensive which is why I would always fly with United or China Eastern when travelling to Asia.

Yea my mom especially is excited. My dad doesn't show emotion much but I know that he is extremely happy to finally be able to meet his granddaughter and my wife. Seeing me for the first time in nearly 4 years is just an added bonus.

I asked as I'm canadian and anytime I've flown its always ridiculously expensive. Even a short flight recently I went from Toronto to NYC and it was like $1500 round trip for just me

Yea my mom paid about the same for a round trip flight from Edmonton to Toronto last years as I paid for the tickets. It is crazy how much West Jet and Air Canada charge for domestic/North American flights.
