How long is the flight to Nova Scotia from the UK?
A flight to Nova Scotia from the UK may take as little as 6h 11m. However, there may be additional factors that complicate this and add time. For instance, the departure and arrival airports will play a role, as will whether or not there is a stopover involved in your flight. The most common departure point for UK citizens traveling to Nova Scotia is London Heathrow Airport, which is the UK’s largest and busiest.

However, travelers on a budget may want to add a stopover to save money while increasing travel time. For instance, a stopover in London can increase travel time up to 24h with WestJet, while a stopover at London Gatwick with British Airways will increase travel time to 18h 49m but can save roughly £100 or so on ticket prices. Some of the most common stopover points along this route include France, Amsterdam, London, and Belfast. Note that some stopovers do require changing planes.
