How to book the cheapest flight to Canterbury?

With Orbitz, you'll uncover some of the most amazing flight deals around from a wide range of airlines. But if you'd like to improve your chances of snapping up cheap flights to Canterbury, here are a few tips to follow:

Depending on your place of departure, choose the 'Nearby airports' function (located under the departure and arrival form fields). At times, other departure points offer better priced fares.
If your travel plans aren't cast in stone, click on the 'Show flexible dates' option to browse flight deals for a range of departure dates. Go with any suitable cheaper fare you find.
Hit 'Show options' to narrow down your search results. You can pick your preferred airline and seating class here. Under 'Sort & Filter' to the left, you can even select whether you'd like to fly in the morning, afternoon or evening.
If you've sorted your travel dates, don't wait to book. Ticket prices usually get dearer as the departure date nears.
Consider bundling your flights, hotels and car rentals with Orbitz to get more for your money.
Whenever possible, don't fly in high seasons. Airfares are often at their highest during summer, school breaks and around other vacation times like Easter and Thanksgiving.

What is the best time to book a flight to Canterbury?

Generally speaking, January is the best time to purchase your plane ticket. This is closely followed by February and August. Bear this in mind while tracking down a cheap flight to Canterbury.

What day of the week is the cheapest to book a flight to Canterbury?

When it comes to cheap airfares to Canterbury, the best days to make a booking are generally Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. A fantastic flight deal is just clicks away with Orbitz.

What is the cheapest day of the week to fly to Canterbury?

Based on Orbitz data from 2020, Monday is usually the best day to nab cheap flights to Canterbury. Tuesday also has wallet-friendly airfares, while Saturday has the highest ticket rates. Although flying out at the weekend may be easier to organize, you'll have more cash to play with if you take off at the start of the week.

What is the cheapest month to fly to Canterbury?

Get set to jet for less in August. This is generally an excellent month to take off if you're looking for cheap flights to Canterbury, based on Orbitz data. The least affordable time to take off is June, so try to avoid this month if you're on a budget.

Which airlines allow free cancellation?

Things change, and we believe your ticket should be able to do the same. That's why Orbitz makes it a cinch to search for flights with no change fees and free cancellation. Just enter your departure and arrival destinations and then choose "Filter by flexible change policies." Talk about peace of mind!

What do I need for the flight to Canterbury?

The trick to having a stress-free flying experience is to come prepared. Below are a few handy tips to bear in mind before you set off:

In all cases you'll have to show proof of identification. How much? This depends on which airport you take off from. When reserving your tickets, we suggest to type in the same name, birth date and gender as indicated on your government-issued ID.
Pack some extra entertainment for your long trip to Canterbury. If you're tired of watching that series on your phone, give your eyes a much-needed rest from all that screen time and get stuck into a book.
Cabin temperatures can change rapidly, so it's best to pack a sweater. Consider compression socks too. They can help prevent swelling and blood clots.

How do I get cheap first-class/business deals to Canterbury?

If you think a first or business-class fare is beyond your reach, think again. Here are some top tips to help you score a premium flight to Canterbury for a whole lot less:

Being flexible isn't just for the gym. Have some room to move around your travel dates so you can pick up cheaper airfares when a big sale comes along.
Look for a low-cost carrier that has business-class seats. They usually come with extra legroom and a glass of bubbly — and a more appealing price.
Take advantage of your airline's flight rewards program and upgrade your seat. Alternatively, you can try bidding for an upgrade in online auctions.

What is the best time to go to Canterbury?

August, September and October are the most popular months to visit Canterbury. If an average daily high of 65 ºF sounds appealing, book your flights for around the beginning of summertime — December 1. Many travelers prefer this time of year for its warmer weather. In the evening, the average temperature dips to 50 ºF.

Fare, taxes & fees: Fares include all taxes and fees, except baggage fees. Rates shown reflect fares found by other Orbitz users over the past 7 days. Due to rapidly changing airline prices & seat availability, these fares may no longer be available.

Refunds/changes/cancellations: Itinerary changes, if permitted for the fare, will have a $30 service fee charged by Orbitz. Additional airline charges may apply.

Other conditions: Schedules, fares and rules are subject to change without notice. Seats are limited and may not be available on all flights/dates or in all markets. Lower fares may be available. Fares will not be honored retroactively or in exchange for any wholly/partially unused ticket. Tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable.
