Air Canada is reintroducing Edinburgh to its transatlantic route network.
The Scottish capital will once again welcome Air Canada’s nonstop service from Toronto starting June 2, 2023.
“We are pleased to announce the return of our non-stop services from Edinburgh to Toronto,” said Stephen Gerrard, general manager of sales for U.K. and Ireland at Air Canada.
Here are the details!
Once Air Canada’s link to the Scottish capital returns, it will be the only nonstop service between Toronto and Scotland.
The schedule varies slightly depending on the season, but will run daily before it comes to an end in January 2024.
From June 1 through October 28, 2023, the schedule will be as follows:
Plus, here’s the schedule for the winter season between October 29, 2023, and January 9, 2024:
The route will provide exciting new travel opportunities for both Canadians and Scots alike.
“Our newly extended service from Edinburgh will not only provide our customers in Scotland with a direct link to Canada during both the summer and winter seasons, but also allow convenient onward travel options across North America,” said Gerrard.
Furthermore, services will be operated by Air Canada’s fleet of Boeing 787-8 aircraft.
Fares are available to book online now at aircanada.com, where you’ll find the cheapest round-trip is a basic economy ticket from $808. As is often the case, even with full-service carriers, a checked bag will cost you $70 one-way.
Hot Tip: Air Canada’s Aeroplan frequent flyer program often provides excellent value when it comes to redemptions. Check out our guide for inspiration on the best ways to redeem your Aeroplan points.
Alternatively, a round-trip standard fare that includes a checked bag would be make more sense financially at $934, which also gives you more flexibility to change your flight.
You can also get from the West of Canada to Edinburgh thanks to 3x-weekly service with WestJet from Calgary (YYC).
From the U.S., you can travel nonstop to Edinburgh from 7 airports: Atlanta (ATL), Boston (BOS), Chicago (ORD), Newark (EWR), New York (JFK), Orlando (MCO), and Washington-Dulles (IAD).
Air Canada’s new link between Toronto and Scotland is an exciting addition for those living on both sides of the Atlantic.
All that’s left to do is book your ticket before they’re sold out!
