Airfare to Ottawa

Find and book cheap flights to Ottawa, Ontario (YOW)

As the nation’s capital, Ottawa is a busy government town and that means you’ll find a range of non-stop flights from major (and even minor) Canadian airports.

Members of Parliament have to be able to get to work no matter where they’re coming from–which explains why most of the flights to Canada’s remote north route via Ottawa.

There are also several non-stop flights every day to major US hubs such as Dulles, Newark and Chicago. However, it’s a little trickier if you’re trying to fly non-stop to Ottawa International Airport from further afield.

KLM has a direct connection from Amsterdam to Montreal, which includes a bus from Trudeau airport to the Ottawa train station that leaves right after the flight (with enough time to get luggage).
