UK travellers can experience the ultimate winter escape to incredible Canadian destinations with Air Transat.

Throughout the winter, Air Transat offers direct daily flights from London Gatwick to Toronto with Economy Class fares from £434 pp return, and three times weekly flights to Montréal from £408 pp return. Additionally, there are up to twice-weekly services to Toronto from Glasgow from £346 pp return and from Manchester from £466 pp return^*.

According to a recent survey^**, 76% of respondents agreed that Canadian scenery is ‘world leading’, why not experience it in person this winter? With 63% stating the natural beauty would be one of the best things about Canada in general, what better way to experience this than admiring the snowy landscapes of Ontario, the partially frozen beauty of Niagara Falls, or a winter adventure through the many national parks of Quebec, with plenty of cosy and welcoming pit stops to warm up along the way. And, while you may come for the stunning winter scenery, outdoor adventures and wonderful wildlife, there is a whole lot more on offer.

Even with winter’s chill in the air, Toronto remains a vibrant city, teeming with life and offering an abundance of activities for all ages. From outdoor adventures to cosy indoor pursuits, there’s something for everyone to enjoy:

Snowshoe across the Toronto Islands: Just a 10-minute ferry journey from downtown Toronto, the Toronto Islands offer fantastic snowshoeing opportunities. Discover skiing trails or venture off-path to explore the island’s hidden wonders at your own pace.

Ice Wine season: Open to trying something different like ice wine? January is Ice wine season in Niagara and what better way to sample the signature flavours than during the month-long celebration with various festivals throughout the region.

Montréal transforms into a picturesque wonderland during the winter months. The city’s streets adorned with snow, iconic architecture, and the charm of Old Montréal create a magical atmosphere.

Luminothérapie beckons you to immerse yourself in a northern-inspired journey through radiant and interactive artworks. Each winter, the Quartier des Spectacles in downtown Montréal is transformed by a vibrant, playful, and interactive art installation, illuminating the hearts, bodies, and minds of all who engage with it.

Igloofest: Known as the coldest music festival in the world, Iglooofest infuses the city streets with electrifying beats and dance during the winter months. Whether you’re a fervent fan of electronic music or seeking a distinctive way to embrace the cold, this is an essential Montréal winter experience you won’t want to miss.

Hôtel de Glace: Open to experiencing luxury in a castle carved out of 2,000 ice blocks and 30,000 tons of snow? Why not head to Quebec City where you can brave the ultimate winter experience of a nights stay, or visit for the day and enjoy this architectural marvel made entirely of snow and ice?

Those who feel like banishing the winter blues can head for sunnier climes thanks to Air Transat’s connecting flights to Mexico and the Caribbean this winter via Toronto and Montreal.

Passengers travelling from the UK will fly on Air Transat’s modern fleet, with many flights operated by the Airbus A321LR aircraft which has the lowest environmental impact in its class.

With an in-flight meal, a welcoming atmosphere and touch screen in-flight entertainment included as standard in Economy Class, holidays start the moment passengers step on board.
