You won’t struggle at all to find Manitoba flight deals on Cheapflights when you want to fly there from the GB. The cities that offer a large number of flights on this route are London, Manchester and Glasgow. Flight times can vary quite wildly, depending on the airline you book with and the number and duration of stops in between. If you leave from London, you’re looking at a relatively short flight of close to 14h, if you choose a quicker option. Other flights will take about 13-15h. There are longer flights too; these can take from around 27-31h of total travelling time, including layover time at intervening airports. Flights out of Manchester and Glasgow are spread over a similar time span, with shorter flights taking about 16h and the longer ones between 22h and 35h. All routes terminate in the same city, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. When you’re browsing choices through Cheapflights, remember to check if there are promotions on cheap flights to Canada, which can save you a good amount.
Unfortunately there are no direct flights on offer from the GB to Manitoba, but you can find good Canada flight deals on the two-stoppers. There are also one-stop flights, but these usually cost a premium. The shorter flights you’ll find are from London Heathrow (LHR), via Montreal Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL), landing at Winnipeg Airport (YWG). This will usually take under 14h. The other one-stop flights make a layover at Toronto Pearson International (YYZ), taking about the same amount of time. Most of the two-stop flights fly the same route, simply stopping at both Montreal Airport and Toronto Airport. You can’t get one-stop flights to Canada from Glasgow. A common two-stop route is from Glasgow Airport (GLA) via Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS) and on to Calgary Airport (YYC), before landing at Winnipeg. Flights from Manchester Airport (MAN) are the most varied. You can fly two-stop routes, via Heathrow and Toronto Airport, via Frankfurt am Main (FRA) and San Francisco Airport (SFO) or via Lisbon Huberto Delgado (LIS) and Toronto.
Travel in the main cities of Manitoba, like Winnipeg, Brandon and Thompson, is very convenient using public transport; it’s also cost-effective. A reliable way to travel between cities is to do so by train, using VIA Rail Canada. It not only covers Manitoba but the whole of Canada. A good way to travel if you want to set your own schedule and not be reliant on public transport is to hire a car.
For some of the main tourist attractions in Manitoba, head to its principal city of Winnipeg. Here, you can visit The Forks, the lively downtown area, where you’ll find the renowned Forks Market, Canadian Museum of Human Rights and Manitoba Children’s Museum. You can also drive about 1h from Winnipeg to Winnipeg Lake and enjoy the beaches of Grand Beach Provincial Park, reputed to be some of the finest in Canada. Or drive to Riding National Park on Manitoba Escarpment to see bison roaming and fish in Clear Lake, Deep Lake and Lake Katherine. For something quite unusual, visit Canada in August and make your way to the little town of Gimli, for the Icelandic Festival of Manitoba, Islendingadagurinn.
To enter Manitoba province, you’ll need to present a machine-readable electronic passport. It’s advisable to get one if you don’t have one, as it’s the only type of passport accepted for entry into Canada. You won’t need a visa for short-stay visits, but you will need to get an Electronic Travel Authorisation.
