My Friend also book ticket (Around Dec) .around HKD10000 (but have cathic pacific promotion) not only Mar increase about 5000 thousand, so next time u check agent if any promotion u can buy first then u will save money
CAD$ 1400 is that for return trip and 1 year open? Which airline? you can ask the agent to check and watch for your mother as each promotion comes out and ends very 'rapidly'.
My sister just bought air canada return trip for CAD$1260 and has to be departed by May 22 and open for 1 year.
April and May are always low season and you should easy to find promotion ticket, but those ticekts always has certain quota per day/flight, so ask the agent to find the date which is available.
For Oct and Nov, it is another low season but the promotion wont release so early, wait after AUG.
If you dont mind stopover, then the price can drop much lower, eg, Korean Air, United, Japan Airlines.

It should be best time to buy promotion ticket for May, but it also depends on what date exactly. Early May shouldn't have problem but after mid-May may already count as high season.
Now airlines are very cunning as they move the high season just right before the school finish, so they can capture more passengers on higher fare. Try to avoid the school holidays as it always charge higher fare.
If you are looking for next year, only buy it after the Xmas as the promotion only release after the high season when the airlines want to sell the unsold seat.
