The following airlines operate regular services between Srinagar and Vancouver. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Vancouver is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and sunny. However, this is also peak tourist season, so expect higher prices and more crowds. Shoulder seasons like May or September offer pleasant weather with fewer tourists.
