Top tips for finding a cheap flight out of the United States
Nova Scotia is served by two main airports—Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) and Sidney–J.A. Douglas McCurdy Airport (YQY).
Passengers looking for flights to Nova Scotia to visit the province’s capital city and its metropolitan area need to select Halifax Airport. This airport is used as a hub by Air Canada Express, which regularly flies from Boston. There are other cities in the US with seasonal flights to Halifax, including New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia.
Travelers looking to visit the second largest city in Nova Scotia should book their flights to Sydney Airport. Just be mindful that there aren’t any nonstop flights from the US to Sydney. Passengers must opt to book a flight to Nova Scotia with a layover in Toronto-Pearson International Airport (YYZ) or connect via Halifax.
If you’re traveling with children and planning to rent a car in Nova Scotia, please keep in mind that children must use a booster seat until they are nine years old. US driver’s licenses are valid for driving in Canada.
