Star Alliance members Lufthansa and Air Canada are selling discounted tickets for flights from Amsterdam to Vancouver and Calgary. You can get a round-trip for prices starting at only €394. Sadly, luggage isn’t included, so adding 23 kg of luggage would increase the price by €120.
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to Lufthansa’s booking site:
There are various possible routes for this deal. You can either fly all segments with Air Canada, with a stop in Montreal or Toronto. You can also fly to Frankfurt and then fly directly to Vancouver. Or you fly all segments with Lufthansa, via Munich – unless your destination is Calgary, then you have to fly with Air Canada.
The only route that we wouldn’t recommend is flying to Vancouver via Montreal, as that would put you in a domestic economy class seat for 5 hours after already having flown 7 hours across the Atlantic. It’s more comfortable to fly directly to Vancouver from Frankfurt or Munich.
This is a Star Alliance fare that does not include check-in luggage. Additionally, some other disadvantages may apply
Lufthansa
Lufthansa Group airlines call this fare Economy Light. You can select your seats during the check-in process. Star-Alliance-Gold customers can bring one 23 kg bag.
Air Canada
On flights with Air Canada, there is also a Basic Economy. If you have a Star-Alliance-Gold-Status, you can give up 23 kg of luggage, and Air-Canada-Altitude status holders can even be allowed up to 3 x 32 kg.
Other restrictions include:
- You can reserve seats but at a higher price than usual for Economy.
- For Air Canada Altitude customers:
- 25% miles for transatlantic flights, none for domestic.
- Upgrades are not permitted.
- From Prestige 25K onwards you can select your seats.
If you feel that these restrictions are unbearable, you should select the rate that includes luggage for €120 more.
By the way, you can also fly non-stop with KLM for €403:

Information & Tips for Canada
Canada offers a wide range of attractions, from the Rocky Mountains and Banff National Park to the vibrant cities of Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal. The currency used is the Canadian dollar (CAD), and credit cards are widely accepted. Prices can vary, but Canada is generally more expensive than many other destinations, particularly in major cities. The weather varies significantly by region, with cold winters and mild summers in most areas, while the west coast enjoys milder winters. The best time to visit is usually summer or early autumn for pleasant temperatures.
Canada’s transport infrastructure is well-developed, with reliable public transit systems in major cities like Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver, including buses, subways, and light rail. However, outside of these urban areas, public transport can be limited, and a car is often necessary for getting around. Between cities, domestic flights are common, especially for long distances, but trains and buses are also available, though travel times can be lengthy. Road conditions are generally good, and driving is a popular way to explore the country.
