Flying direct from Halifax to the UK are:

Zoom Airlines
Canadian Affair
Air Canada

Zoom Airlines is the only airline to fly direct from Nova Scotia to Scotland.

you could look at Continental from Halifax - they fly via New York but you clear USA customs at Halifax airport. They fly to Gatwick as well as Heathrow. Condor will also be flying in July from Halifax. Again, not a direct flight - you go via Frankfurt - but usually cheaper.
Icelandair also fly from Halifax to London via Iceland. Again, depending on when you travel, cheaper fares.

I looked at them, and it didn't appear that you could book form Canada to the UK.

Sorry I don't have the code for Zoom to hand, but if you bring up Muchmor Magazine, they have the quote inside their mag (I believe it is 20%) but I believe you have to book by the end of April,

Hope this helps.

This did not make up for the 3 months I lost with my 5 year old, back in Nova Scotia. I hated every minute! :(

And the above is relevant because.....? :sneaky:

The sites that I generally try when looking for flights are

www.flyzoom.com
www.iglucanada.com
www.airtransat.com
www.thomascook.com
www.canadianaffair.com
www.opodo.com

Some of these are the same plane but the price will often, but not always, vary from site to site. It is worth checking them all a couple of times a week for 2 or 3 weeks to see if the price trend is up or down then book when you think you have a good price.

Not an exact science I admit, but it has worked well for me in the past.

Incidentally, I have tried to use discount codes on many occasions but have never managed to get one to work. Am I doing something wrong, or just unlucky?

With Zoom you have to put the code in on the front page, before you even start searching for flights. It's a bit confusing. You don't get told the discount until the final pricing at the end.

Thanks, I'll try that next time.
