Canada flight FAQs

The average flight time from London to Toronto is 7 hours and 45 minutes, and to Montreal 7 hours and 10 minutes. Flights to Vancouver, located on the West Coast, are a little longer at 9 hours and 25 minutes. British Airways flies to Canada from London Heathrow Airport (LHR).

We fly to three destinations in Canada from London Heathrow Airport (LHR) – Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and Montreal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL) .

The cheapest month to fly to Canada is in March. Keep an eye out for our special offers or search our low fare finder.

The best time to visit Canada is in the summer months from June to August as the cities come alive with warm weather, sunshine and festivals like Toronto Caribbean Festival (Caribana), Montreal’s International Jazz Festival and Just for Laughs Comedy Festival, as well as the nationwide Canada Day celebration on 1st July. If you’re looking for an alternative to the summer peak season, May and September still offer sunny days with fewer tourists at all the popular attractions.

If you’re after a ski holiday, ski season starts in November and can go to late April. For a buzzing city break, Toronto and Montreal both experience cold winters from November to March but are equipped for the climate with indoor walkways and plenty of unique winter events and activities to keep you busy.

Canada isn’t the cheapest place to visit but it’s very affordable if you plan ahead. Visit during April to May or September and save money on flights and accommodation.

Canada’s vast size means travelling to multiple cities might take a bit longer – but the adventure will be worth it. For the ultimate Canadian experience, take a road trip and explore the breathtaking scenery and local attractions in your own time. Or sit back and let us take care of everything and book one of our exciting Canadian holiday packages.
