Transatlantic networks from Edmonton
Your route to Europe might run through a Canadian gateway such as Calgary, Toronto or Montreal, through a US hub, or via a European hub such as Amsterdam. Seasonal flights can add options in summer, so the best route in July may not be the best in November.
Amsterdam is a favourite connecting point for Edmonton travellers because it links to a very wide network of European cities. Paris, Warsaw, London and Frankfurt can also work well, depending on where you are going and which airline fits your dates.
Multi-carrier ticketing and open-jaw trips
Flying into one city and home from another saves you the cost and time of doubling back. Into Amsterdam and home from Rome is a classic example. Because these trips may combine partner airlines, we check that your bags, seat rules and fare conditions work across the whole itinerary.
- Open-jaw routes for touring trips
- Multi-city tickets with several stops
- Family and small-group bookings
- Connections to smaller regional airports
Layover optimization at European hubs
At large European hubs, arriving on an overnight flight and making a tight connection can mean long walks and passport control, especially when you are entering the Schengen Area. We look for connection times that give you a realistic chance of making the next flight. If you would like a long stop, a day or two in Amsterdam can be a good addition.
Budget-style basic fares can look attractive until you add seats and bags. We compare the real cost of each fare level, so the price you see is closer to the price you will pay.
Before you go
Canadian visitors are generally limited to 90 days in any 180-day period across the Schengen Area, and the EU is changing its border systems, including the ETIAS travel authorization. Other passports have different rules, including airport transit visas in some cases. Check official sources before you travel.
