Cheap flights from Birmingham to Vancouver

Prices on this page run from October through to March, with June also listed, and October is the cheapest month to fly. Demand from the UK side peaks around school holidays and the Christmas break, while the destination's summer draws its own crowds, so shoulder-season dates in autumn tend to leave more room in the fare. Midweek departures usually cost less than Friday-to-Sunday ones. Book a couple of months ahead rather than at the last minute, since two-leg itineraries rise quickly once seats on the long-haul sector fill.

The mix is broad: Easyjet is the outright low-cost option among the carriers listed, while Loganair Limited, Aer Lingus, Air France, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines with KLM Cityhopper, Lufthansa City Airlines, Eurowings, HOP! and WestJet operate as full-service or regional arms feeding larger networks. Because nothing flies direct, your ticket is really two or more flights stitched together, and what is included — checked baggage, meals, seat choice — depends on the fare rules of each carrier on the ticket. WestJet is the Canadian carrier in the list, useful if your connection lands on that side of the Atlantic.

You land at Vancouver International, the main airport for the city. It connects to the city by public transport and road links, with taxis and ride services meeting arrivals as well. Give yourself buffer on the way back: transatlantic departures from a single-hub airport leave little room for error, and a missed first leg can unravel the whole itinerary. Check your ticket for which terminal each leg uses.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check Canada's entry rules for your nationality and whether you need an electronic travel authorisation before booking.
• Confirm the exact airport of departure, since Birmingham lists only one but other cities in the region do not.
• Read the baggage rules on low-cost segments, where cabin and checked bags are often sold separately.
• If your connection is on separate tickets, check the minimum time you would need between flights and who re-books you on a missed leg.
• Compare the same trip in October against the other priced months, since the calendar shows where fares move.
• Note which months your search covers, so you know when the listed prices run out.
