These are the cheapest times to book flights to major Canadian cities
From coast to coast, there’s so much to see in this big and beautiful country of ours.
With the holidays quickly approaching, it might be time to start considering the best methods for getting around to see loved ones.
As we know, flights can be tricky within Canada. Often, you can fly south of the border for cheaper prices than flights within Canada. Sometimes, it can get a bit overwhelming especially when you start to look at ticket prices for flights.
But, it’s all about timing.
Luckily, Skyscanner, the travel fare aggregator website and travel metasearch engine, has released data on the best time to book flights to four major Canadian cities — Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary, and Montreal.

According to Skyscanner, the best time to book flights to Vancouver is three to six weeks in advance and the cheapest month to travel to the city is in October.
Flying to Toronto:
Toronto’s flight pricing comes with a little bit more planning, according to Skyscanner, as the best time to book flights to Canada’s most populous city is 22 weeks in advance.
Luckily for Toronto-bound travels around the holidays, December is the cheapest month of the year to travel to the 6ix.
Flying to Calgary:
Similarly to Vancouver, Calgary trips should be planned four weeks in advance, according to the Skyscanner’s data and the cheapest month to fly to YYC is January.
Start the new year off in Calgary, perhaps?

Of the four major Canadian cities studied, Montreal requires the longest planning to book cheap flights at 29 weeks in advance.
Like Toronto, the cheapest month to travel to Montreal is in October.
Happy travels!
