Where Next?

Recently, my mother got hired at WestJet. Because I'm under 25, I'm entitled to flight benefits through her. For the last week, in this busy time of term projects and finals,  all I've been able to focus on is where I want to travel to. At one point, you could go to the airport wait for a flight with an empty seat and jump on a plane to a random destination for next to nothing. But unfortunately, standby flights, carrier seats and other forms of cheap travel are a thing of the past. This recent development, changes that completely. From domestic flights from the standard rate of $2.50 to industry standard rates of under $400 round trip to Europe, suddenly I can travel anywhere I'd like on a student's budget. I can go to Montreal for less than a cab ride home from the bar. Combined with the vast network of partner airlines and interlines that WestJet has,the world just got infinitely more accessible. On January 16th of next year, I'll be able to fly anywhere I'd like for almost nothing, and I guess I should figure out where it is I want to go first.
