Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Every so often, Jack Sheldon from Jack’s Flight Club selects a flight deal from the UK for Independent readers that you can’t afford to miss. This week: return flights to Canada for £245 return.

Four of the most popular Canadian cities are showing great fares at the moment through Delta and Skyteam partners KLM/Air France.

Manchester in particular has lots of dates in the early and late summer months; plus there are lots of UK regional airports to fly from in late summer, with convenient routes to cities including Toronto and Vancouver.

These fares won’t last long, so be quick if you want a cheap flight to the Great White North.

How to book

Head to Google Flights and enter either London or Manchester as your departure airport along with your choice of Canadian city as your destination. You may want to add a “Skyteam” filter to the “airlines” option to help find the dates included in this deal.

Use Google Flights’ calendar tool to help you highlight the best travel dates (they’ll show up in green).

This one is best booked directly with the airline and Google Flights will provide you a link to book on their website. In some cases the fares could have expired at the time you check, in which case it’s worth double checking if any travel agents still have that price on Skyscanner.
