Getting Here & Around

Perhaps it’s time to consider the path less travelled. With so many memorable things to see and do here, finding your way to, and around Newfoundland and Labrador is as important as figuring out where you want to go. Our province is surprisingly much larger than most travellers realize.

Who knew that arriving here could be such a departure?

Travelling here by plane is a popular option, and airlines fly into St. John's, Gander, Deer Lake, Happy Valley-Goose Bay, and Wabush. Flying times for direct flights to St. John's are about 3.5 hours from Toronto, 6 hours from Edmonton / Calgary, and 5 hours from London. Other international routes are available into the region via Halifax. Regional airlines service smaller destinations and operate flights within the province.

Travellers are encouraged to check with individual airlines and ferry services for the most up-to-date information prior to and during travel.

With so many memorable places to see and things to do, finding the best way to travel around Newfoundland and Labrador is as important as figuring out where you want to go. Our province is much larger than most travellers realize, with lots of open country.

Driving Distances

To give you a better idea of the province’s size, Newfoundland and Labrador is more than three times the total area of the Maritime Provinces (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island) and would rank fourth in size behind Alaska, Texas, and California if it were one of the United States. It's almost one-and-three-quarter times the size of Great Britain. Most of that open space is in Labrador, but even on the island, the nine-hour drive from the ferry at Port aux Basques to the capital city of St. John’s is longer than the drive from Toronto to New York or from Paris to Berlin.
