Cheap flights from Birmingham to Toronto

Flight Information

There are no direct flights from Birmingham to Toronto, so travellers flying between England and Canada need to choose from several connecting routes. Air Canada operates nondirect flights to Toronto from Birmingham with layovers in Frankfurt, Brussels, or Munich. One daily flight operates from Dublin to Toronto Pearson International with Aer Lingus, and passengers can choose this as a nondirect way to get to Toronto from Birmingham. Nondirect Birmingham to Toronto flights with Dutch carrier KLM are also available with a layover in Amsterdam, and flights with Air France travel to Toronto after one stop in Paris.

It is not practical to fly to Billy Bishop Airport from Birmingham, but passengers who want to do this will need to have a stopover at least twice — one time in a European city such as Frankfurt, Paris, and Amsterdam, as well as in Montreal. Air Canada operates the bulk of these flights, especially on the domestic part of the journey from Montreal to Toronto. To find the best routes, passengers can search for flights via Skyscanner.
