The world has become a lot closer to Canada over the last 10 years. From Canada you can fly to every (inhabited) continent. From Vancouver there are 118 weekly direct flights to Hong Kong and China. Toronto has direct flights to places like Bucharest, Addis Ababa, Ponta Delgada and Kiev to name a few. As an aviation enthusiast I decided to break down the longest flights from Canada and how to fly them using points.

Update April 2020: Many routes are currently on pause during COVID-19. I will fully update this article in the Summer 2020 when airlines start to cut long haul routes. As of April 14th, YYZ to MNL, YYZ to PEK, YYZ to NRT, YYZ to TPE, YVR to MNL, YVR to CAN, YUL to DOH have been operating, although at less frequent then before.

Why did I do this? Well, questions like “What’s the longest flight from Toronto?” and “What’s the longest Air Canada flight?” are frequent. I compiled answers from those questions here (The answers are Manilla and Vancouver to Melbourne FYI!).
