Tickets can be purchased through the airline's website canadiannorth.com. Some routes are operated by multiple competing airlines, so it's always a good idea to compare prices on sites such as skyscanner.com.

Canadian North has partnered with Air Greenland to offer the option of buying a connection on one booking from Ottawa or Montreal with a connection at Iqaluit Airport to Greenland.

When to buy a flight and prices

Canadian North's flight prices are very high by default, and one-way tickets from major cities in southern Canada northbound normally cost 550 cad to 1 000 cad.

Prices are fairly stable and similar in summer and winter.

We recommend buying tickets at least 2-4 months before departure, as some routes only fly a few times a week and connections may sell out.

Fare classes

Canadian North aircraft are economy class only.

You can buy tickets on a variety of fares, which differ mainly in flexibility - the ability to change dates or cancel the entire ticket.
