When is the cheapest time to fly from Ottawa to London?

The most competitive fares on the Ottawa–London route appear during the spring shoulder season (April to May) and early fall (September to October), avoiding summer peak and Christmas holiday surcharges. Booking 45–60 days in advance is the sweet spot for maximizing savings, and being flexible by even ±3 days can uncover additional deals.

Which airlines operate flights from Ottawa (YOW) to London (LHR)?

Key carriers on this route include Air Canada and Air Transat. Depending on your choice of airline and fare class, you'll experience direct seasonal service or connections via Toronto (YYZ) or Montreal (YUL). Total journey time including any connections runs approximately 7 to 10 hours.

Which airports are used for flights from Ottawa to London?

Your flight departs from Ottawa Macdonald–Cartier International Airport (YOW). You will land at London Heathrow (LHR) or Gatwick (LGW) in United Kingdom. We recommend arriving at the departure terminal at least 2.5–3 hours before your scheduled international departure.

Is $800 CAD a competitive price for this route?

A fare starting at $800 CAD from the National Capital Region to London is a strong entry-level price for this corridor. Exact pricing is dynamic and changes based on cabin class, airline policy, and how close to departure you book. SkyTeam Travel's agents can often access unpublished wholesale fares below this level — call us to check availability.

Is it better to book flights to London through a travel agent?

Yes, especially for securing seats on the most competitive carriers. Our agents can check multiple inventory systems simultaneously and flag unadvertised promotions that often disappear within hours of being released.

London Travel Guide for Canadian Flyers

From the Tower of London and Westminster to the West End and day trips to Europe, London is one of Canada's most-booked transatlantic cities.

Visa & entry for Canadians

Canadians can visit the UK visa-free for up to six months but, from 2025, must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before flying. It's a quick online application — apply well ahead of departure.

Best time to fly

May, June and September deliver the best mix of mild weather and value. July–August is peak season; book early. Winter fares dip but daylight is short.

Heathrow (LHR) is the main gateway with the widest schedule; Gatwick (LGW) often carries lower fares. Central zones near the Underground keep sightseeing easy.
