Best Time To Book: October Is Cheapest
October offers the lowest average prices (€119-€142 round-trip) for Bucharest-Canada flights, while August peaks at €198 due to summer tourism. Booking 32-42 days ahead captures the best rates—data from 2023 shows 68% of W6’s cheapest seats sold within this window. Avoid November; prices jump 28% for Thanksgiving travel.
Watch Out For: Hidden Baggage Fees
Wizz Air charges €30 for the first checked bag on OTP-YUL routes, adding €60 for two bags. In 2023, 43% of travelers missed this fee, paying €120 at Montreal airport versus €119 online. Always select "23kg checked bag" during booking—never assume it’s included. Air Canada’s free 23kg allowance is a major advantage for families.
