How to find and book this deal
1, Start with a Google Flights search like this one...
Google Flights search: Edmonton to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Click on the departure date box to open up the calendar view and try other date combinations.
2. Go to Momondo.ca and search for a flight from Edmonton to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (SGN).
Use the same dates as you found with Google Flights.
NOTE: There are some things to watch out for with this deal...
- Some flight options near the top of the results may have really long travel durations (they have overnight layovers in Tokyo). If you scroll down a bit, you should see flight options with more reasonable travel durations of 24-25 hours.
- When you get to Momondo you may want to adjust the 'Max Flight Duration' slider on the left, and set it to around 55 hours. This is the total travel duration for both directions. Using this filter will eliminate the flights that have the overnight layovers in Tokyo.
3. Click through from Momondo to whichever site is showing the cheapest price.
In some cases the price may not verify properly when you get to the booking site. Here are some example date combinations that I've seen verify properly...

Chris, most of the deals you find redirect us to Flight Network.
Is this 3 party site reliable to deal with ? Please advise
Is it possible to leave Edmonton on March 11 or later, returning around 2 weeks or so later?
...or actually March 4 or later? Thank you!
Tracy - Flight Network is a licensed travel agent in Ontario, so there should be no issues with them. Bookings made with licensed travel agents are backed up by the industry association, so if your travel agent goes bankrupt before it pays the airline for your booking (for example), you're covered.
Tracy: Flight Network is one of the largest Canadian owned booking sites. I almost always hear positive things about their service, which can't be said for all booking sites.
I currently have them ranked #6 in the Booking Site Power Rankings (if you click on 'Articles' at the top of the website, you can find the rankings and reviews).
