How far is YHZ from central Halifax?
Halifax / Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) is 17 miles (27 km) from central Halifax in a straight line. The drive is always longer than the straight line, and the roads near the venues are busiest at event times, so allow more than a map suggests.
How many events are in Halifax in the next 30 days?

Can I buy event tickets and flights together?
Not as one purchase. Event tickets come from our resale marketplace and flights from our travel partner and the airlines, as separate bookings with separate confirmations. Neither depends on the other, so if an event moves, your flight does not change automatically.
