Cheap Flights to Calgary

Calgary is a modern, welcoming city, with a lot of charm and a lingering pioneer spirit. Though it is the largest city in Alberta, its population density is far below many other international cities, so you can expect plenty of room to breathe and enjoy the hot tourist spots. Calgary has a lot to offer the curious traveller, from great shopping venues to eclectic restaurants, and more.

During its temperate summer season, Calgary’s national parks provide excellent hiking, camping, and mountain biking opportunities. The Glenmore Reservoir in particular is the place to go for sailing, kayaking, and canoeing fun. Even in the heart of the frigid winter months, tourists can hit the slopes at Canada Olympic Park, the site of the 1988 Winter Olympics. The slopes provide great runs for skiers and snowboarders, and you can even try your hand at the luge or bobsled.

Best Time to Travel to Calgary

The best time to buy your plane tickets to Calgary is June through August, when the weather warms up. The temperatures generally linger around 20 degrees Celsius, making the weather comfortable, but not scorching. It also is known to rain during this time, so pack an umbrella to be on the safe side.

Hotel and tour prices tend to go down in April and October, so scheduling your holiday for these months could be a smart way to save money while still avoiding Calgary’s chilly winters. You’re likely to experience temperatures between 10 and 15 degrees Celsius during these months.

The snow, ice, and freezing gales come to visit Calgary between November and March. You’ll be able to find cheap flights to Calgary during the winter, and tourist sites will certainly be less crowded. This is also the best time to ski and snowboard for those who are looking to carve up the slopes.
