While I’m not necessarily opposed to a summer holiday, I do have a soft spot for travel in autumn and winter. Give me crisp cold air, red and yellow falling autumn leaves and the excuse to order a hot chocolate with marshmallows over sweltering sightseeing any day.

Not to mention the milder climate, fewer queues and, sometimes, lower fares thanks to less demand after the summer. Luckily, travellers with similar tastes will soon have new options.

Here’s what’s on the horizon this autumn and winter for new flight routes to and from Europe.

Air Canada: Toronto-Tenerife and Montréal-Tenerife

Air Canada will launch the only non-stop flights between North America and Tenerife this autumn with weekly services from Toronto starting on 25 October. The service will operate twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays, with return flights on Mondays and Fridays.
