How long is the flight to Alberta?
Flights from the UK to Alberta, Canada range from about 9h-13h. If you’re flying out of London, you can enjoy a flight at the shorter end of the spectrum, especially if you’re flying into Calgary. If you’re departing from Edinburgh and flying to Edmonton, on the other hand, your flight is likely to be nearer the 13-hour mark. In addition to departure and arrival city, your flight time will also be affected by the number of stopovers and the length of each, if any, layover.
Where can you get direct flights to Alberta from?
You can get a direct flight to Calgary, Alberta from London Heathrow Airport (LHW). Direct flights are serviced by British Airways, Air Canada, WestJet, and Air Transat. If you’re flying out of other major airports in the UK other than London Heathrow, such as Manchester Airport (MAN) or Glasgow International Airport (GLA), you can book flights that have only one or two stopovers along the way. If it’s just a flight with one layover, you can assume that the layover airport will be London Heathrow.

A more affordable option is to take either buses 100 or 300, which both connect to the airport and head to the city centre.
