Canadian Affair summer flights take off from the North West with fares from £278 return

April 29, 2010

Canadian Affair is launching its programme of summer flights direct from the North West this weekend with fares from Manchester to Toronto from just £278 return.

The award-winning operator is offering twelve flights a week to Canada’s East and West coasts with non-stop services from Manchester to Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver. Canadian Affair is the sole operator of direct flights to Canada from Manchester and the North West.

It is operating daily non-stop flights a week non-stop to Toronto, an increase from the three times weekly service during the winter season. Return fares start from £278pp return including taxes

Non-stop flights to Vancouver depart every Friday and Saturday, and to Calgary on Friday and Sunday, with return fares from £298pp return including taxes.

Kathryn Munro, Communication and Marketing Director of Canadian Affair, says: “Our combination of low fares and direct non-stop flights to Canada are proving incredibly popular with travellers from the North West, and bookings for this summer’s flights are strong.”

Canadian Affair’s flights from Manchester are operated by Thomas Cook Airlines. Toronto services are on the Boeing 757 aircraft which has a seat pitch of 35 inches - the most generous economy legroom on a trans-Atlantic flight. The wide-wide-body Airbus A330 operates on services to Calgary and Vancouver, and has a seat pitch of 32 inches and individual TV screens at every seat. Complimentary meals and hold baggage are offered on all flights, and passengers can also upgrade to Premium Class on Airbus flights for a host of added extras.

In addition to low-cost flights, Canadian Affair offers child discounts – unlike many other operators – and can tailor-make high quality trips to include a wide-range of hotels, Rocky Mountaineer train tours, self-drive holidays, cruises, motor-homes, Escorted coach tours and much more at the most competitive prices.

  • A three night break in Toronto costs from £385 per person, with three nights accommodation at the 4-star Sheraton Centre downtown Toronto (twin share, room only) and return Economy Class flights non-stop from Manchester.
  • A week’s holiday on Canada’s West Coast in Vancouver costs from just £549 per person with seven nights accommodation at the Hotel Vancouver in the downtown area, and return Economy Class flights non-stop from Manchester. Car rental is available from £25 per day.
