The 10-hour journey from Dublin will see Ireland linked directly with Canada’s west coast on Air Canada’s subsidiary Air Canada Rouge.

To promote the new service, Air Canada are offering a return flight offer of just under €600 return for passengers who travel between 10-30 June. The airline says that this offer is only for customers who book between now and 4 December.
A check of the Air Canada website showed flights between the two cities at as as low at €490 return during the period.
As well as being convenient for Irish people wishing to visit Canada, the airline’s president says that it will also provide a tourist boost for Ireland.
“This route is a great, convenient option for western Canadians travelling to visit the vibrant Emerald Isle with its rich literary history, arts, world-class golf and dramatic landscapes,” Benjamin Smith said today announcing the route.
