Air Canada has announced an extension of its Edinburgh to Toronto service.
Originally arranged as a Summer-only service, starting on 2nd June and ending on 28th October, it will now continue until 8th January 2024.
The service will operate daily during the Summer peak, dropping to three flights per week in Autumn. Air Canada uses a modern Boeing 787 on the route.

After 8th January there will be a short gap before flights restart, probably at the end of March 2024 for the launch of the Summer timetable.
As a reminder, Air Canada also operates:
- London Heathrow to Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Halifax, Mumbai (yes, Mumbai!)
- Dublin to Toronto, Vancouver (Summer), Montreal (Summer)
- Manchester to Toronto

How to earn Star Alliance miles from UK credit cards (April 2025)
None of the Star Alliance airlines currently have a UK credit card.
There is, however, still a way to earn Star Alliance miles from a UK credit card.
The route is via Marriott Bonvoy. Marriott Bonvoy hotel loyalty points convert to over 40 airlines at the rate of 3:1.
The best way to earn Marriott Bonvoy points is via the official Marriott Bonvoy American Express card. It comes with 20,000 points for signing up and 2 points for every £1 you spend. At 2 Bonvoy points per £1, you are earning (at 3:1) 0.66 airline miles per £1 spent on the card.
There is a preferential conversion rate to United Airlines – which is a Star Alliance member – of 2 : 1 if you convert 60,000 Bonvoy points at once.
The Star Alliance members which are Marriott Bonvoy transfer partners are: Aegean, Air Canada, Air China, Air New Zealand, ANA, Asiana Airlines, Avianca, Copa Airlines, Singapore Airlines, TAP Air Portugal, Thai Airways, Turkish Airlines and United Airlines.
