I was planning on going for 10 days to Canada to make my decision to make the move for good in a few month but flights seem to be more expensive than they are especially to Halifax.Prices i am being quoted are from £900 to £1500 to travel this month.I am looking on sky scanner so does anyone know where i could find cheaper ?

try www.cheapoair.ca

i just booked a flight from Halifax to Frankfurt to Halifax in April costing around $1100 , London was a tad more expensive I think, but under what you quoted

That sounds a bit expensive. I've just booked a flight to the UK from Calgary on Air Transat for $1019. I still think that's a rip off, but it's not the airline's fault – the airport charges and taxes in that are around $600!

May e because its half term, kids are off school for a week next week in ON.

air transat...but use the canadian part of the website

i just got a one way in april for £348

it was only 2004 when i got return to calgary for £250.....2008 when return to vancouver was £410


fuel costs, taxes etc etc


depressing

I may need to go back for a short time in May and just did a quick comparison on the sites mentioned for Toronto to Manchester, May 1st departure and May 7th return (2 seats)

Airtransat - $1629.16

Canadian Affair.ca - $1571.80

Cheapoair - $1645.36 (flying KLM via Amsterdam)

kayak.com - $1605 (Flying US Airways via Philly)



I normally use Kayak.com to find cheapest flights and it showed the Air Transat price as $1584.


Used to be quite a bit cheaper to book Canadian Affair through the UK but they were supposed to be putting a stop to that.

Qe booked flights to Winnipeg in Jan, 4 of us for £2000, as of 1st March prices are rising.

Best prices are on www.skyscanner.net try Icelandic air.

SkyScanner

Air Transat - $1570
KLM - $1628
US Airways - $1634

So Kayak similar/better prices.

I just tried icelandic air website. Totonto to Gatwick (Dont do Manchester) was $2,525 with a stop in Reykjavik & Boston.

$865

air transat

2nd may to 11th may

toronto to london gatwick

can book train or hire car in advance for big reduction

still cheaper than manchester by a long way

Canadian Affair don't start flying to Halifax until 22nd May this year. (It was end of March last year) My OH was planning on flying over in April but costs were so high he has postponed to May, he got a return for £498. We booked our one way flights in December for July and got family of 4 for £1900.00.

Sorry forgot to mention our flights are from Manchester on 07 Aug one way, change in iceland & Toronto

Book late.

Flights tomorrow are under 200 quid from Gatwick to Pearson on CanadianAffair

Not necessarily. The dates I was looking for had a total to Gatwick of $1891.56, $300 more than Manchester arrival. It would also mean I had to get from Hull to Gatwick on May 7th for 11:45am in the morning rather than Manchester for 13:15.

I would but as we need to get back to the UK for something specific I'm wary in case their seats fill up etc.

It seems to be a bit more awkward as i am flying to Halifax.Canadian affair dont fly until the summer.Even us airways are higher than normal.Maybe i should go and try Toronto or Vancouver instead.I only consider Nova Scotia as that is the only place i have lived in the past.
