  • Departing on a Wednesday averages 20% 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.
  • At 337 miles this is a short hop of 1h 10m, so an early-morning departure, which is usually the cheapest and most punctual of the day, costs you little sleep.

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.
