Nationally, the cheapest flights are still largely concentrated in the United States, with New York City taking the top spot. Sadly, flying to Australia will still cost you a pretty penny here in Canada – the average flight there will set you back $1,735, more than Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and South Africa.
The most searched flights by Canadians were Manila, Philippines, Vancouver, and Los Angeles.
