Just been having a look on Canadian Affair for potential flights in Feb/Mar of 2011.
err...there arent any!

any other suggested flights/routes that could be taken?
we fly london uk to halifax ns, least stopovers if possible

please help!!

Air Canada, Air Canada or Air Canada.

Likely your only choices over the winter. Check out Icelandair though I think they might fly to Halifax via Rjekjavic.

Or, hub through the USA. Lots of flights into Halifax from places like Boston, NY or Philly.

This is a clear case of a need to use a travel agent.

Thanks atlanticxpat iceland air no flights to halifax this winter
will check out routing through usa as well

I don't think you'd want to risk going to Boston in the winter, NY or Philly maybe, but American have a cheap service from London to Charlotte, that's a hub and not weather prone, if you can get from there to Halifax it might work.

Following up souvy's suggestion, BE member cindyabs is a travel agent. She might be able to help you.

I would try one of the flight finder sites such as www.opodo.co.uk they will find a routing option for you, and give a choice. I have found in the past that a stopover somewhere can reduce the cost considerably.

That's not always true. When I booked the ticket for my trip to Vancouver last week, the direct flight came out much cheaper than one with a connection. Most of the time the rule holds, though.

there don't appear to be any 'cheap' flights to Halifax at all.
last May we flew to Ottawa for £139 out and £149 return (that's for each of us)

now I cant find any flights for less than £500!

Get used to it, sweetheart. The days of cheap Transatlantic travel are long gone. Just wait until you start taking internal flights in Canada.

YIKES!!!
