Reader question: Are there any cheap ways to get from Europe to Halifax, one way?

Reader question

Lucas asks...

Hi, thank you for all of this incredible info on your site. I just had one question for you and I'm hoping you could offer some advice. Aside from Condor from Frankfurt, are you familiar with any cheap ways to get from Europe to Halifax, one-way? It doesn't look like Condor flies in the winter so I'm looking for something else which might be similar. It can be from any country, any time in December. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Lucas,

When it comes to one way flights between Europe and Halifax, you generally want to focus on Westjet and Condor. These are the airlines that usually price their one-way flights to/from Europe at more reasonable levels (40-60% of the cost of a roundtrip flight).

As opposed to other airlines, like Air Canada, KLM / Air France, and the rest, who like to price their one way flights at about the same price as a roundtrip flight, or even higher.

The situation is a little more difficult for winter travel, because Westjet and Condor consider Europe as more of a seasonal destination from Halifax, and like to offer their non-stop flights when it's warm. So you may need to look at one way flights with stops through Toronto.

You could start with a Google Flights search like this one:

Halifax to Europe

Now, this is a search for one way flights from Halifax *to* Europe. Only because Google Flights doesn't currently have the ability to search for flights *from* a large region to a North American city, but does have the ability to search from a North American city *to* a large region.

There's definitely no guarantee that a one way flight from Europe to North America will be priced the same as a flight from North America to Europe. Often times, they can be quite different.

But it can give you a good idea of the cheaper European cities to try searching from, the dates to try, and the routing you can expect.

For example, you can see in the Google Flights search above that a one way flight from Halifax to London Gatwick with Westjet is available for $364 CAD on Dec 4.

And if you try London Gatwick to Halifax on Dec 4 you can see a one way flight for $447 CAD....



Oh and when it comes to December, focus on dates before December 18th. December 19th to 31st is where good flight prices go to die, all around the world.
