Toronto-Yellowknife

Air Canada will introduce a Toronto-Yellowknife (Northwest Territories) service beginning December 1. It will run three times a week, year-round.

Yellowknife is visited for its historic Old Town that evokes the spirit of the gold rush era and as the gateway to impressive Northern Lights viewing.

“This flight is a game changer for Brits looking to visit one of the world’s best places for seeing the lights, which appear on an average of 240 nights each year from late August to early April,” said Michaela Arnold, Market Director Central Europe for Northwest Territories Tourism.

First Class Holidays has a new Toronto and the Northern Lights package, with flights from London-Heathrow, three nights in Toronto, city sightseeing and day tour to Niagara Falls, flight to Yellowknife, four nights with Aurora viewing at Aurora Village, and a dog sledding tour. It is priced from £2,499pp (January departures). spectacularnwt.de; fcholidays.com
