Find cheap flights for the May long weekend from Canada
Victoria Day — known as the May long weekend or May 2-4 weekend across Canada — is the unofficial start of summer. Falling on the Monday before May 25th, it's the first warm-weather long weekend of the year and one of the busiest travel periods for Canadians. Whether you're escaping to a cottage, visiting another Canadian city, or flying somewhere warm, booking your Victoria Day flights early is the best way to get great fares. Kiwi.com helps you compare flight deals from airports across Canada for the May long weekend.
How to find cheap Victoria Day flights from Canada
Victoria Day weekend (May 15-19, 2026) marks the unofficial start of summer in Canada and is one of the busiest travel periods. Fares from Toronto (YYZ), Vancouver (YVR), Montreal (YUL) and Calgary (YYC) to sun and city destinations typically rise from early April. Booking in February or March gives you the best prices. Kiwi.com's flexible-date calendar lets you compare fares across the long weekend and see whether flying Thursday evening or Tuesday morning saves significantly. Midweek departures are often 20-30% cheaper than Friday or Saturday flights. Popular routes to Cancun, Las Vegas, Orlando and European gateways fill quickly. WestJet and Air Canada dominate domestic and sun routes; consider connecting via US hubs for European destinations.
Top Victoria Day destinations for Canadian travellers
Cancun (CUN), Las Vegas (LAS), Orlando (MCO) and Miami (MIA) are the most popular Victoria Day destinations for Canadians. Sun seekers favour the Caribbean: Punta Cana (PUJ), Cuba (HAV) and the Dominican Republic offer direct flights from Toronto and Montreal. European city breaks to London (LHR), Paris (CDG) and Dublin (DUB) are popular as the summer season begins. Domestic favourites include Vancouver, Halifax and Calgary for those exploring Canada. WestJet, Air Canada, Sunwing and Air Transat serve these routes. Kiwi.com aggregates all carriers and can combine different airlines for complex itineraries.
Canadian airlines and Victoria Day flight deals
Air Canada, WestJet, Sunwing and Air Transat dominate Victoria Day departures from Canadian airports. Sunwing and Air Transat specialise in package deals to Mexico and the Caribbean, often bundling flights and hotels. WestJet offers competitive fares to US and sun destinations from its Calgary and Toronto hubs. Air Canada serves the widest network including European gateways. Set a price alert on Kiwi.com from your home airport in February: Victoria Day deals often appear 8-12 weeks before the holiday. Virtual Interlining can combine Canadian carriers with US or European airlines for routes no single carrier serves directly.
When is the best time to book Victoria Day flights?
For Victoria Day travel from Canada, the booking sweet spot is February to early April. Prices on popular routes to Mexico, the Caribbean and Europe typically rise sharply from mid-April. If you miss the window, last-minute deals occasionally appear in the two weeks before the holiday, but Cancun and Orlando rarely discount. Tuesday and Wednesday returns are often cheaper than Sunday evening. Kiwi.com's price history helps gauge whether the current fare is above or below the historical average. Victoria Day falls a week before the US Memorial Day, so you avoid the peak US travel surge.

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.”
Guillermo D.
“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!”
