How much is a flight from Ottawa to Halifax?
"How much is the Ottawa to Halifax flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours arranges the current cost for your date quickly of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.
Ask us for two or three options and we send the cost of each - for example the cheapest fare with hand luggage only, the same flight with a checked bag, and the best-timed departure of the day - so the comparison is in front of you before you book.
Cheapest flight from Ottawa to Halifax: how to pay less
A cheap Ottawa to Halifax flight ticket is rarely luck. It is the right airline, the right day and the right fare class - which is what we check for you:
- Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
- Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
- Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we check
- Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
- Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
- Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are usually cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest flight from Ottawa to Halifax that day and what a slightly different day would cost.

Airlines flying from Ottawa to Halifax
Who flies from Ottawa to Halifax? Air Canada and WestJet. Between them the route runs daily. We compare their fares, timings and baggage for your dates and send the two or three that make sense, not a list of fifty.
- Air Canada - Ottawa to Halifax
- WestJet - Ottawa to Halifax
Departure: Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW)
Your journey starts at Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW). We tell you the terminal for your airline, when check-in and bag drop close, and whether the airport has fast-track security worth booking. From the airport the 97 bus and the light rail connection run to the downtown at fixed times and stops, which is fine with a light bag; a private car goes straight to the hotel, avoids the rail change with luggage and is simpler for families, late arrivals and day trips to Gatineau Park, Montreal or the Thousand Islands.
- Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from your accommodation in Ottawa to Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport
- Just ask about the terminal and fast-track options at Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport
- Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one
- Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
Arrival: Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) and getting into Halifax

Many passengers continue from Halifax to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

Can I choose my seat?
On most airlines, yes - free at check-in or for a small fee at booking. Let us know your preference on WhatsApp and we add it.
