Cheap Flights in Canada You Can Book for Under $300

It’s true, Canada’s sheer expansiveness means it’s often cheaper to fly out of the country than within it. But if you’re looking for a budget-friendly way to shake things later on in 2021 or next year, homegrown holidays can be a solid option – no passport required.

We’ll show you how to love where you live with affordable domestic flights that go for about $300 or less.
