Find affordable flights for kids from Canada
Travelling with children doesn't have to break the bank. Canadian families can find excellent flight deals to kid-friendly destinations by booking smart and planning around school holiday schedules. From all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean to theme parks in Florida, there are plenty of destinations that cater to families with young travellers. Kiwi.com makes it easy to compare fares for the whole family and find the best prices from airports across Canada.
How to find cheap flights for kids from Canada
The key to finding cheap flights for kids is flexibility and early booking. Canadian school holidays — March Break, summer break, and the Christmas/New Year period — are the most expensive times to fly. If you can travel just before or after these peak periods, you'll find significantly lower fares. Use Kiwi.com's multi-city search to compare prices from different Canadian airports, and check whether infant and child fares are available on your chosen routes. Some airlines offer discounted fares for children under 12, so always check the age-based pricing options.
When to book flights for kids from Canada
For March Break travel, start searching in January. For summer holidays, begin in March or April. Christmas flights should be booked by October at the latest. Canadian families competing for the same holiday dates drive prices up quickly, so early booking is essential. Mid-week departures (Tuesday and Wednesday) are typically cheaper than weekend flights. Consider red-eye flights as well — children often sleep through them, and they tend to be less expensive.
Top kid-friendly flight destinations for Canadian families
Cancun and the Riviera Maya offer all-inclusive resorts with kids' clubs and water parks. Cuba's Varadero beach resorts are a Canadian family favourite for their value and safety. Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic combines beautiful beaches with family-friendly accommodation. Orlando remains the ultimate family destination with Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, and SeaWorld. Myrtle Beach in South Carolina offers a more affordable beach holiday. For domestic travel, Victoria and Kelowna in British Columbia are wonderful summer destinations for families.
Best time to fly with kids from Canada
The cheapest times to fly with kids are during shoulder seasons — late September, early October, late April, and May. These periods fall outside Canadian school holidays but still offer pleasant weather at many destinations. If you must travel during school breaks, March Break flights are generally cheaper than Christmas or summer flights. Booking at least 8 weeks in advance and using price alerts on Kiwi.com will help you lock in the best family fares.

Real customer reviews from travelers who booked with us:
“I had a problem with my return flight as I had a stopover and my first flight was late and made me miss my second flight. kiwi quickly and easily rebooked me on the next flight. the process was transparent and guided by customer service over the phone instead of a machine or chat, which is greatly appreciated in such a delicate situation. I don't usually leave comments or ratings but on this occasion they have earned a positive comment.”

“I had heard not great things about kiwi so was really nervous about booking with them. however service was great and flights went smoothly (they even checked in for me!), so it was all in all a terrific experience. I especially liked how quickly they responded to my many queries and how patient they were with me. excellent customer service!”
