    Hey there,

    Hoping somebody can help.

    Need to book flights to St John's, Newfoundland, Canada, in May.

    Heading out on the 8th, back the 17th. Have been looking at different options.

    Seems to be the way forward will be flight from Dublin to a bigger airport (Toronto, Montreal) then transfer to St John's.

    Transfers working out very expensive at the moment from what I can see.

    Anyone looked into this before, regularly travel to Canada, can recommend the best airlines/options?

    Any help would be great!

    Thanks.

    Air Canada are re-starting their Heathrow -St.Johns route this summer with a small A319 and is probably bookable through the flybmi.com site as well as aircanda.com or compare the price with any decent travel agent.
    Air Canada are a fine airline,flown a few domestic flights with them myself,free 2 bag allowance and practically every route except Dublin-Toronto (which only begins in June afaik)has on demand PTV's in every seat.

    I know a Canadian student I was talking to on a flight to Chicago recently and was saying that it can work out a lot cheaper by flying to a US airport first so a look at fares offered by United/Continental/American/US Airways from Ireland and connecting to St.Johns might save ya a few quid too.

    Ran it through kayak.com and it's coming in at €524 with various route options. Not bad.

    Forgot all about that site (now bookmarked!), cheers.

    Must check out the route options.
