Flight Deal: fly nonstop from Sydney to Vancouver with Air Canada from $990 return

Flying nonstop between the East Coast of Australia and the US or Canada for under $1000 return is always a steal.

With a layover in Vancouver, you can fly onto nearby airports like Calgary, Edmonton, Victoria, Seattle and Portland for only $10-100 more, with flights to Toronto adding on ~$150, which is still a great deal.

Air Canada also flies from Melbourne and Brisbane, but prices from those two cities start at the $1600 mark.
