There’s a fantastic deal to several picturesque islands in Greece — and all you have to do is fly out of a Canadian hub.

Here’s what you need to know.

Fare Deal — The Details

These flight deals are operated on Air France business class from Montreal (YUL) and Toronto (YYZ) to the Greek islands of Mykonos (JMK) and Santorini (JTR).

One of the best hacks for booking business class cash flights is routing from a Canadian hub. That’s because the exchange rate between Canadian Dollars and the U.S. Dollar is extremely favorable at 1 CAD to 0.75 USD.

For reference, similar flights from the U.S. are almost double the price at a whopping $4,250 round-trip. So, if you’re near a Canadian border (or can get there easily by flight), you can save thousands simply by departing from a Canadian airport.

You can search for dates on Google Flights and then book directly through Air France, Delta Air Lines, or a travel agency (OTA) such as Expedia or Priceline.

Class: Business Class
Route: Toronto (YYZ) and Montreal (YUL) to Mykonos (JMK) and Santorini (JTR)
Dates: July and August 2024
Rates: As low as $2,200 round-trip

Bottom Line:

Air France (along with KLM) offers the frequent flyer program Flying Blue. When you book flights with either airline, you’ll earn Flying Blue miles, which can be used on great redemptions like the contiguous U.S. to the Caribbean, European domestic flights, and more.

How to Book

There’s solid availability to the Greek islands of Mykonos (JMK) and Santorini (JTR) between July and August 2024, which is the peak season for both islands.

After selecting flights, you should book your ticket with a credit card that rewards for flights or general travel purchases. Here are some of the best travel credit cards out right now:

The Platinum Card^® from American Express: 5x Membership Rewards points on flights booked directly with the airline or through Amex Travel (capped at $500,000 spent in purchases per calendar year, then 1x points)
The Business Platinum Card^® from American Express: 5x Membership Rewards points on flights booked through Amex Travel
Chase Sapphire Reserve^®: 5x Ultimate Rewards points on flights booked through the Ultimate Rewards portal; 3x points on all other travel purchases

Final Thoughts

This is another fantastic Canadian flight deal, which Canadians and Americans can take advantage of, given the frequency of flights between the 2 countries. Even better, the cheapest deals are during the peak summer season, making this 1 of the best deals we’ve seen so far in 2024!
