International Flights to Whitehorse

When to Go and Weather

Weather-wise, the best time to book Whitehorse flights is in the summer when the city comes to life with festivals and events in the extended daylight hours and buying your airline tickets ahead of the holidaying crowds may land you some great early-bird discounts. If you're keen on seeing the famous Aurora Borealis/Northern Lights, book your flights to Whitehorse between the end of August and April, but remember to pack some sturdy winter-wear to beat temperatures as low as -15°C. If you don't mind the cool weather and shorter days, airfares and hotels are cheaper in the shoulder seasons in May or from September to October.
