Cheap flights to North America

Depending on the time of year you plan to visit North America and the purpose of your trip, the two biggest countries in the continent, America and Canada, both have diverse weather conditions. During winter the eastern part of the US gets considerably colder than the West Coast and in Canada the weather is bitterly cold throughout the country. The best time to visit both countries is late spring (April to May) and early autumn (September to early October). Mexico and Panama have two seasons: dry and wet; the dry season lasts from mid-December until mid-April and the rainy season is from May to November. The Caribbean countries enjoy warm weather all year round with a few rainy spells in summer from May to November.

Considering the very large size of the countries and the affordable North American airfare, the best way to get around is by plane. Apart from cheap flights to North America from Canada, you’ll find plenty of internal flights to get around the continent as well as domestic flights within countries like the United States and Mexico. If you book flights to North America and also fly between the countries you wish to visit, it is often both faster and cheaper than traveling by land. If you’re traveling within a country and just short distances, you may be better off renting a vehicle and driving. Some countries like the United States or Costa Rica offer plenty of great road trip spots.

North America is a vast continent and has a variety of top attractions you’ll want to visit. For example, in the United States you won’t want to miss the iconic New York City skyscrapers, Hollywood in Los Angeles or a number of beautiful national parks spread across the country. Make your way to the Caribbean for some beach time at beautiful spots like the Seven Mile Beach in the Cayman Islands or Eagle Beach in Aruba.

Toronto, being the main Canadian hub, offers various flights to North America and a lot of them are direct. For example, there are direct North America flight deals from Toronto (YYZ) to cities like New York (EWR and LGA) in the United States and Cancun (CUN) in Mexico. Comparing flights to North America, these routes take around 1h 35 min and 4h respectively. You also have a lot of choices if you book flights to North America out of Montreal (YUL). There are direct flights to North American cities such as Panama City (PTY) in Panama and San Jose (SJO) in Costa Rica. These flights are about 6 hours long.

When flying to North America from Canada, you will need to have a valid passport with you. In some cases you may need a visa to be allowed entry. Check the requirements for the specific countries you wish to visit to make sure you have all the necessary documents before catching your cheap flights to North America. It’s a good idea to research the best place to exchange money into the local currency of your destination beforehand. Just in case you don’t have data or Wi-Fi in your final destination, download a map of the area so you can access it offline.
