There’s now a new way to reach one of the world’s most exciting and beautiful cities.
Air Canada Rouge (0871 220 1111/flyrouge.com), the low-cost subsidiary of Canada’s national airline, has just launched direct flights departing from London Gatwick to Vancouver three times a week.
Once there, go whale watching and take in all of Vancouver’s natural splendour from the top of Grouse Mountain, which stands 3,700ft above the city. Return flights from £454. London’s most magical musical is celebrating one year in the West End. Tickets for Aladdin (0844 482 5151/aladdin the musical.co. uk), playing at the Prince Edward Theatre to rave reviews, are now available up until the end of the year. Can’t wait that long? Enter the show’s online lottery for the chance to bag a pair of seats for that week. Tickets from £25.
