    Trying to find a cheap flight from Ireland to Vancouver canada for roughly 2 weeks sometime around the end of July/early august. Whats my best approach of finding this?

    Would it be worth risking till late and hope something comes up on lastminute.com or would that be unlikely.

    your probably not the only one mate, with the amount of irish there you wont be alone. im half thinkin of gettin over to Canada-land some time funds permitted...

    look at as many big airports as you can, and maybe even some near by americian cities and travel up to vancover or fly direct from london or amsterdam or somewhere like that... look at the combined costs on that kind of travel

    im hoping to head over to visit an irish friend over there actually :p thanks for the advice.

    This might be a dumb question is it possible to search for flights where you can enter a from airport and leave a to blank eg just show a list of cheapest flights flying out from this airport?

    or to do a search without entering a from/to date im quite flexible in dates i can do?

    apologises im a novice flyer

    Try http://www.skyscanner.ie.

    It allows you to search by 'Whole Month' and from the airport of your choice to 'Everywhere'.

    or try this site- you can also try month long and then narrow searches down by amount of stop-overs. you can't book from this sight but you can then go into individual airline websites. In the 'from' and 'to' section you need to use the airport codes i.e. DUB for dublin and VAN for vancouver. I also set the sales city to DUB so get results in Euro. If it asks you to login then hit the 'login as guest' button.
    I use this site for all flights and find it amazing

    is it not part of the deal with usit that you book your flights thru them too?

    www.globespan.com

    These guys do cheap direct flights from Dublin which saves you getting a connecting flight. I think they may be sold out of all flights though and they don't have much flexibility in when you fly.

    If you can find a cheap flight to Seattle, it's only a 4 hour bus journey up to Vancouver as well.

    Looking into getting a cheapish flight there myself for October.
