Ottawa (YOW) + 2.5h Canadian North — Only Practical Routing
Canadian North is the primary carrier connecting Ottawa to Iqaluit — the 2.5-hour nonstop is the only practical entry to Nunavut’s capital for most travelers. Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier Airport (YOW) has connections from JFK, BOS, ORD, and US cities via Air Canada. Book YFB flights well in advance — capacity is limited and fares rise sharply closer to departure.
Visit in March for Northern Lights or July for Midnight Sun
Iqaluit has two extraordinary seasons for visitors — late March (frozen sea ice, brilliant Northern Lights, dog sled tours, polar bear viewing on the ice) and July (midnight sun, open water, wildlife viewing by boat, wildflowers on the tundra). Both require booking 3–6 months ahead as accommodation and guides are severely limited. Iqaluit is one of the world’s most extraordinary travel destinations for those willing to plan ahead.
Use Miles & Points
