Toronto to Europe: What happened to flight prices!?
I am a frequent (annual or bi-annual) traveler to Vienna, from Toronto. In the past 7 years, I've never paid more than $1200 for a return flight for Toronto to Europe -- and actually the $1200 price was Toronto to Vienna and return to Toronto out of Istanbul. My return flights to Vienna have never been more than $1000.
So you can imagine my surprise when I'm finding one-way flights to Vienna (for August 2016) to be upwards of $900, most actually listed upwards of $1500, and Air Canada's version of a cross-listed Air Austria flight at $1950, when Air Austria is offering the same flight for $900... Considering the obliterated price of fuel right now, relative to when I paid $1000 for a return flight in 2015, you an imagine that I am having a hard time bringing myself to accept this is the price of flying Toronto to Vienna...
Does anyone have any advice? How do I make my trip MUCH cheaper, because I cannot bring myself to be ripped off by an airline like this.
Thanks
