Black Friday Flight Deals: Travelers flying out of Vancouver International Airport have a chance to save money ahead of the busy holiday rush. Canada’s major airlines are rolling out early deals long before the Black Friday shopping period.
WestJet, Porter Airlines and Air Canada all have promotions for flights from Vancouver to destinations across Canada, the United States, Europe, Mexico and the Caribbean.
These discounts apply to travel dates stretching from late November through spring 2026, making this one of the best opportunities to lock in lower fares.
Here is a simple breakdown of the offers now available, how to claim them, and what travelers should know before booking.

Porter Airlines
Porter Airlines is matching the early sale trend with its Special Exhibit Sale. This offer also gives travelers a chance to save 20 percent on base fares to several popular sun destinations.
These locations include Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Nassau, Grand Cayman and Liberia in Costa Rica. Travel dates for Porter run from November twenty three to April twenty six 2026.
Blackout dates for Porter match the WestJet schedule. Travelers will need to check their preferred dates carefully since these excluded days cover the Christmas period, New Year travel and several busy weekends in February and March.
Porter’s discount levels depend on the fare type and the day of travel. Basic and Standard fares receive a 20 percent discount from Monday to Thursday and a 15 percent discount from Friday to Sunday.
Flexible, Freedom, Navigate and Ultimate fares receive a 10 percent discount from Monday to Thursday and a five percent discount from Friday to Sunday.
Porter has an additional set of discounts for all other flights outside the sun destinations. On Basic, Standard and Navigate fares, a 20 percent discount applies on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.
A 15 percent discount applies on Monday, Friday and Sunday. On Flexible, Freedom and Ultimate fares, a 10 percent discount applies every day of the week.
To book the Porter sale, travelers must reserve their seats by Monday November seventeen at eleven fifty nine at night. The promotional code for this sale is ISICGP.
Air Canada
Air Canada has not yet launched a pre Black Friday event of its own. However, the airline is already offering discounts on economy class travel to Europe from major Canadian cities, including Vancouver.
These economy deals apply to Basic, Standard and Flex fares for trips between December one 2025 and April twenty five 2026.
One sample fare highlighted by the airline is a round trip flight from Vancouver to London. The sample trip departs on February twelve and returns on February twenty 2026. The price with the discount is seven hundred ninety nine. This is a strong price for a long haul route during winter travel season.
Air Canada requires travelers to book these discounted Europe flights by November twenty five at eleven fifty nine at night. Seats may sell quickly, and route availability can change as other travelers complete their bookings.
Prices listed in any travel promotion are always subject to change. Flight costs adjust based on how many seats remain on a given aircraft. Anyone who wants to secure a specific fare should book immediately.
Some airlines allow travelers to hold a seat for a short time while they confirm plans, but this depends on the airline and the fare rules of the ticket type.
The early sales from WestJet, Porter and Air Canada are timed well for travelers who want to book winter getaways, plan family trips or lock in cheaper long haul flights for Europe.
By releasing these offers ahead of Black Friday, the airlines give travelers a chance to avoid crowded search periods and rising holiday prices.
Travelers in Vancouve
Travelers in Vancouver can benefit from monitoring these sales and acting quickly, especially for popular dates in late January and early spring.
The large discounts on travel to warm locations may appeal to anyone looking to escape the cold months. Europe offers strong value as well, since airfare to major cities is often expensive during winter and early spring.
With many travel deals selling out fast, travelers who want regular updates can sign up for travel newsletters that highlight new fares each day or week. A consistent update system helps travelers catch limited sales before the discounts expire or seats fill.
Booking travel early can save money and reduce stress. Vancouver’s major carriers are competing for attention with attractive discounts, seasonal promotions and lower base fares.
Travelers who take advantage of these offers can plan their winter and spring trips with more flexibility and lower costs.
