Find cheap flights for Canadian holidays
Canada's statutory holidays — Victoria Day, Canada Day, the Civic Holiday, Labour Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas — create long weekends that Canadians love to use for travel. But holiday flights can be expensive if you don't plan ahead. Kiwi.com helps you compare fares from Canadian airports across all major holiday periods, so you can find the best flight deals no matter when you're travelling.
How to find cheap holiday flights from Canada
The secret to cheap holiday flights is booking early and being flexible. Start searching at least 6–8 weeks before a holiday weekend. Use Kiwi.com's flexible date search to compare fares on the days before and after the holiday — flying out on Thursday instead of Friday, or returning Tuesday instead of Monday, can save you significantly. Check multiple departure airports, especially if you're near a border city where US airports may offer cheaper options. Set up price alerts to track fare movements on your preferred routes.
How to ensure the best fares for holiday travel
Book early — this cannot be stressed enough for Canadian holiday travel. Victoria Day and Canada Day long weekends see massive demand from coast to coast. Use incognito browsing when searching for fares to avoid dynamic pricing. Compare one-way fares versus return fares, as mixing airlines on Kiwi.com can sometimes produce cheaper combinations. For popular routes like Toronto to Vancouver or Montreal to Halifax, consider connecting flights that may offer lower prices than direct service.
Top Canadian holiday flight destinations
For summer long weekends (Victoria Day, Canada Day, Civic Holiday, Labour Day), popular destinations include Vancouver, Halifax, Calgary, and Montreal for domestic travel. Cancun, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic remain top choices for sun seekers. For Thanksgiving in October, the fall colours make Quebec City, Ottawa, and the Maritimes beautiful domestic options. Christmas and New Year flights to warm destinations — Cancun, Varadero, Punta Cana, and Florida — are among the most sought-after routes from Canada.
Best time to book holiday flights from Canada
For Victoria Day (May): book by early April. For Canada Day (July 1): book by mid-May. For the Civic Holiday (August): book by late June. For Labour Day (September): book by mid-July. For Thanksgiving (October): book by late August. For Christmas and Boxing Day: book by mid-October. These timelines give you the best chance of securing affordable fares before peak demand drives prices up.

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!”
