Default Flights to the UK from Canada

I have been living in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia for 2 1/2 years now and will be travelling back to the UK in June for a family visit. What is the cheapest way to do this? Last year I found that using Canadian Affair and booking and paying for the tickets in England was the best way to go, is that still the case, help please?

Thanks for that bigals, that is good but isn't it risky if you can't get the time you need?

I think Canadian Affair use Air Transat, so you could book direct. I've flown BA, Air Canada and Air Transat, and my parents fly over regularly and use Air Transat.

AT is usually the cheapest and it's not too bad. BA and AC are obviously more expensive but are pretty good.

There is another one called sunwing (have a look here) which look pretty cheap too. Never flown with them though.

One airline to avoid at all costs is Thomas Cook. I know some airlines codeshare with them and if you find when searching for flights that is the case, change your flight. Parents flew with them and won't do so again, and I've had other friends say the same.

You will find Air Transat owns Canadian Affair. CA use to hire Thomas Cook for some legs but they dropped them some months ago.

Yeah, I did know about the Air Transat side but didn't know that Thomas Cook had been dropped, thanks for that

even in August??? My kids want to visit UK in August, but it's easily the most expensive time to go

I wasn't sure there was much to gain by waiting til last minute, and we don't want to find all the flights are full ....

This I can also verify. When travelling from Canada to the UK I have often found it to work out at least $200 cheaper for my wife to fly over by calling the London office than by booking through the website.
