Canada & USA: British Airways Flights to Vancouver & Other Cities Starting at €261 from Paris (w/o Luggage)

new york downtown from staten island ferry

Oneworld member British Airways is currently selling cheap flights from Paris to the United States and Canada. Prices go as low as €61 for a roundtrip to Vancouver – a fare that does include a meal on the long haul flight, but no checked bags. The fare with luggage increases the price by at least €50-110, depending on the destination. Flying with luggage is the cheapest to Toronto, where a ticket in Economy Standard only costs €315.

Info

British Airways allows you to cancel all flights starting before August 31, 2022, in exchange for a voucher. You can use that voucher for booking made up until September 30, 2023. It cannot be exchanged for a monetary refund, though.

Our calendar below displays all available dates for each of the cheap destinations and can redirect you to British Airways’ website.

The following destinations are available for less than €300:

  • Vancouver: €261 (€371 w/ luggage)
  • Toronto: €266 (€315 w/ luggage)
  • Montreal: €271 (€321 w/ luggage)
  • New York: €287 (€367 w/ luggage)
  • Chicago: €289 (€399 w/ luggage)

You would always first fly to London, from where you’d fly to your final destination. All flights are operated by British Airways.

Search & Book

Sadly, we weren’t able to find the fare rules for this deal. The best availability for the lowest prices can be found in October and November, as well as from January until March.

The most convenient way to find the lowest prices or additional destinations is our calendar above or Google Flights. We recommend buying your tickets directly on ba.com, to benefit from the airline’s refund policy, among other reasons.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

Mileage
