5 ways to travel around Canada 

Canada by air

Toronto Pearson International Airport is Canada’s busiest airport, closely followed by Vancouver International Airport, Montreal Pierre Elliot Trudeau International Airport, etc. Air Canada is the country’s primary airline, while West Jet and Porter Airlines are second with affordable low-cost carriers. Flight fares are generally costlier to remote areas because of the monopoly the smaller carriers have on their destinations. For people who are looking to fly into multiple cities around Canada during one trip, then flexible flight passes are also available. Be sure you read the rules and regulations properly before booking flight tickets.

Canada by train

Rail travel is an excellent mode of transport in Canada as the country’s most beautiful and pretty sceneries come to life in the process. VIA Rail is the main and only passenger train operator in the country that is run by the Canadian government. Train fares are generally higher than flights so early booking is advised to get cheap and discounted prices. Trains passes are also available that will give you options for seven to ten trips over a given travel period. Economy class tickets are worth it, and you’ll get to avail the showers, additional lounges, and sometimes meals in the restaurant cars in several sleeper trains.
