I ve searched today for flights from Calgary to Glasgow and it appears that Zoom arilines or Candian affair stop flights in October. I ve seen a quoted rate of c. $700 dollars with air canada. What other options should I consider.

Any advice much appreciated.

Thanks Scotty

phone canadian affair. they do fly all winter, just not all the flights are online for the winter period yet. they defintely are flying in december.

WE had problems with this when flying in late march. I think both these times are shoulder seasons and the cheaper airlines cut right back- but they do tend to offer one flight a week. Email them and ask when they release the dates

You can probably get a return fare on Zoom/Air Transat (Thomas Cook/My Travel stop flying end of October) for between $500-$600 in November, imo probably closer to $500. I think Zoom go twice a week then. There is a 20% discount code somewhere on all flights booked before the end of the year. Do a search.

Saying all of that Zoom last year did a 2 for 1 offer, and we paid just under $900 for 2 returns in November. Unfortunately you still pay the tax. I would keep an eye out on that.

For me Air Canada the only thing better is the food - it is eatable.

The only reason I prefer the charters is Gatwick is a lot easier to get to where I want to than Heathrow.

Sorry, the fares I was quoting were from Toronto, should have read the post.

I have the chance to go to London next March from Ottawa for a week to 10 days. Any good websites/options to get a last minute ticket for not too much $. I would prefer a direct flight (or would be willing to change in Montreal) as it will be 2 adults and 2 kids (7 and 11)

Coach to Manchester? Not a pleasant journey but cheap, and widens your charter flight options considerably. We did that when going to Calgary over winter from Glasgow.

I was looking around this time myself, the problem seems to be that the thomas cook flights stop for a while. So canadian affair is still an option but only on the air transat flights.
