Flights
A number of airlines offer direct flights from London Heathrow, London Gatwick and Glasgow. In low season, flights can be as cheap as £280 return, including taxes and surcharges. Flying time is roughly 6 hours heading west, 5 hours heading east. Jet lag is less of a problem than other long-haul destinations, as the province is only 4 hours behind UK time.

For more details information about flights and other ways of getting to Nova Scotia, see Travel planning – Getting there.


Car Hire
Most major car rental firms have branches at Halifax International Airport. While some rentals are “all-inclusive”, check your agreement carefully, as others add a daily surcharge to the rental fee for airport pick up, and for other charges.
See Travel planning – Car hire for more information.


Accommodation
Nova Scotia offers a wide range of hotels, motels, B&Bs, campgrounds and resorts for visitors.
But rather than stay in a hotel or B&B, why not discover the cottage experience first hand? We have a number of cottages available to rent, that are not usually available on the open holiday rental market, and so offer the genuine experience of staying in a Nova Scotia "second home".
See Travel planning – Accommodation for more information.
