Every summer we head for Toronto: why is a flight suddenly so expensive?
Simon Calder answers your questions on air fares, refunds for cancellations, train luggage and transfer of tickets
Q My Canadian wife and I travel from London to Toronto every summer, and fares have always been reasonable. However, for August 2020 the cost has really shot up. Can you help us find something affordable? She would travel out on 9 August, I would go 10 days later, and we would both come back (ideally together!) on 29 August. What do you suggest?

A Fares to Canada have risen fairly relentlessly over the past few years, especially in summer. The takeover by Air Canada of the old favourite Air Transat, which has had cheap fares for decades, is not helping prices in 2020.
