Tips for this route

  • There is no scheduled nonstop between YEG and YOW. Every itinerary connects, most often through SEA, DEN or YYC, so sort results by total travel time rather than price alone.
  • February 2027 is the cheapest month to fly over the next six months, with round trips from $197; September 2026 is the most expensive at $265 and up, a difference of $68 per traveler.
  • Departing on a Tuesday averages 18% less than a Sunday on this route. If your dates are flexible, shift the outbound by a day or two and check the calendar view before you book.
  • Book 6 to 12 weeks ahead; fares climb in the last three weeks and around holidays.
  • Ottawa is 2 hours ahead of Edmonton. Expect to lose 2 hours on the clock heading east, so an overnight or late-afternoon departure tends to arrive at a more usable hour.

Destination guide

Ottawa: Canada's capital, and the world's largest skating rink

Ottawa is a compact capital with free national museums, Parliament Hill above the river, and a canal that freezes into a 4.8-mile skateway every winter. Gatineau and the Quebec hills are ten minutes across the bridge.

Best time to visit: May for the tulip festival, June to September for warm weather and Canada Day on 1 July. February for Winterlude and the canal skateway, when it is cold enough to freeze — which is not guaranteed every year.
