Canada has a climate that varies from subarctic and arctic in the north to temperate in the south. Cheap flights to Canada go directly to the major cities, which include Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary.
For outdoor activities such as camping and hiking the best time to visit is late May to early September. Flights are most expensive during the summer. Cheaper flights are available from several airlines in January or February, which is ideal if you are looking for a winter skiing holiday. November to February is a great time to visit for anyone interested in skiing and any other winter sports.
To find cheap flights to Canada use online comparison sites such as travelsupermarket.com, skyscanner.net, flightsdirect.co.uk or bargainflights.com. Look at more than one site so that prices can be compared and remember to ensure that you are comparing like with like. Some websites may not include taxes or other surcharges in the price. Generally you should book early to get the cheapest flights.
If you can be flexible on the dates you travel then you may be able to get a better deal. Where possible you should avoid busy days such as bank holidays and school holidays. Flying midweek rather than on a Friday or the weekend may also be cheaper. For skiing holidays do not book during the Christmas or New Year period.
Depending on the type of holiday it may sometimes be cheaper to choose a package rather than a simple flight. For example with skiing holidays, booking a deal that includes a flight and ski passes may be cheaper than booking them separately. Websites such as cheapflights.co.uk as well as offering cheap flights to Canada also contain information on how much airlines charge if you are taking skiing equipment with you.
If you are intending to travel around Canada rather than stay in one place, compare prices for flying to different airports as some may be cheaper than others.
