Just as a PSA, I thought I'd point out that Delta Airlines continues its unusual habit of dirt-cheap, oddly unpublicized selloffs to Asia from Winnipeg. Best deal as of now is Winnipeg-Hong Kong for $566 all in. I even saw it at under $500 a few months ago, but this is still pretty good. There are other destinations too. Oddly, the sale prices are lowest from Winnipeg and the Sask airports... Minneapolis, Vancouver and Toronto all cost substantially more even though you actually go through Minneapolis en route from Winnipeg.
If anyone is in the mood for some Asian tropical warmth this winter, this is a pretty good way to do it
