Flight help Canada - UK
 

Hi

Can anybody suggest some options for flying from Toronto Pearson - UK around December 1st - December 30th 2014
The dates are flexible and I would prefer London but I am open to any suggestions.
My budget is approximately $650 after tax ;)

I am open to anything to keep the price down so even if it takes me a day to get there or a stop over I would certainly consider it.

Thanks in advance.

Is that one way or a return flight?
Lots of websites such as Expedia, sky scanner and kayak etc.

Try Iceland Air, but a xmas new year flight time will be top not bottom of the price range

Hi
Yes I would need a return flight and I have tried all of those websites too.
I thought that maybe there might be another option eg head over to Buffalo or NYC and fly from there...thid doesn't make much of a difference though.

I would happily fly to Amsterdam/France/Ireland and make my way from there but the options I already tried seem to be coming in at a similar price.

I do have commitments here so I would need to return but it would be really nice to go back to the UK for the holidays.
$650 is at the top of my budget, I saw a flight for $575 to France but it had sold out before I had the chance to book it.

I'll keep searching :)

I don't think Iceland Air fly in the winter. It cost our son $1500 Halifax-Heathrow last Xmas with Air Canada who are one big rip off due to their monopoly.

$650 is not doable IMO. Keep checking with Icelandair website

for your dates at the time of this post, the cheapest I found was $965

air transat has good deals but I think they are usually for one week returns only but maybe have a look there.

Found a flight for your exact dates on flighthub.com for $740. 2 seats remaining. :unsure: Flying out direct YYZ-LHR on Finnair (who knew?), coming back AA via Chicago. Pretty decent I'd say, but still not in your budget... Good luck!

Re: Flight help Canada - UK
 

As good as you will get I think.

I think that Finnair flight is a codeshare with BA - it's actually operated by BA.

Hi


One of the best sites to research air flights and routes is ITA (They don't sell tickets) Google ITA Software by Google There is $841 return on Air Transit all in.

If your dates are flexible, then try flying back on New Years Eve - we've had really cheap flights in the past by flying then, as nobody else wants to!

HTH.

Aer Lingus to Dublin from Toronto usually undercuts Transat etc.

Re: Flight help Canada - UK
 

HAHAHA $650, good luck with that.

We use $900 as our rule of thumb... anything around there is a good price.

We use kayak.com to do the search as it shows a bucket of options for different flights and flight combinations. As Oompa said, flying on Christmas Eve/Day and New Years Eve/Day is one way to save a bucket on the flights. The airports themselves will be less busy as well which makes for a more pleasant experience. We flew on Christmas Eve red-eye (landed Christmas Day) last year, it was a very nice experience. (Helped we were upgraded to business class!)
