Cheap flights from London to Quebec

The costly stretch runs through the festive weeks and the school holidays around them, when demand for seats across the Atlantic peaks and fares climb with it. From there the year eases off, and the surprise is midsummer: July is the cheapest month to fly, so summer travel on this route does not automatically mean peak pricing. Midweek departures often sit below weekend fares, and sliding your dates by a day or two can move the price — the fare calendar on this page runs from autumn through summer with a gap or two, so scan it before you fix anything.

The mix leans full-service: Air France, British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, American Airlines, United Airlines, Aer Lingus, LOT Polish Airlines and Icelandair are network carriers, while Air Transat is the leisure option and BA CityFlyer adds departures from London City. Nothing on this route is nonstop, so every name implies a change — Reykjavik with Icelandair, Paris with Air France, Dublin with Aer Lingus, Warsaw with LOT, and a US hub with American or United. What differs most is what the ticket includes: network fares generally cover a checked bag and a meal on the long leg, while the leisure fare sells extras separately, so price the total before you commit.

Getting into town is the simple part: Quebec has a single airport, it sits a short drive from the old city, and taxis, rideshares and a public bus meet arrivals at the door. The terminal is compact, so you move from baggage belt to street without much ceremony — after a day built around a connection, that brevity counts. Watch the season rather than the distance: a midwinter landing means snow and ice on the roads, so build in slack, while a summer arrival gets you to your room with the evening still ahead. If your plans stretch beyond the city, car hire desks sit in the terminal.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Pick the departure airport before anything else, since City, Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton and Stansted all serve the route and the right one depends on where you start.
• Check what baggage the fare includes, because the leisure carrier sells checked bags separately while network tickets usually cover one.
• Look up the entry documents Canada asks of UK citizens and have them ready at check-in, as the airline will not board you without them.
• Book the two legs on a single ticket where you can, or leave a wide buffer if you buy the connection separately.
• Scan the price calendar before fixing dates, since July sits below the other months and fares move with the season.
