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.
Zoom were cheaper than Canadian Affair from Calgary (just --- and using the ZOOM discount) .... obviously I am not informed about NS.....

Re: Flights 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.

Re: Flights to the UK...
I went back on my own for 3 months (Jan-March) last year to sell a house. It had been on the market for 2 1/2 years with 4 agents and none of them payed it any attention, because we were out of the country. It was walk in condition all new everything and in a good location. I sold it on my own and had the money in the bank within 8 weeks. This did not make up for the 3 months I lost with my 5 year old, back in Nova Scotia. I hated every minute!

Re: Flights to the UK...
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?

Re: Flights to the UK...
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.
