Fly Like an Eagle (Unless You're Afraid of Heights, Then Maybe a Bald Eagle)
This is the speed demon option. In under five hours, you'll be touching down in Halifax, ready to conquer citadels and chow down on chowder. Be warned, though, this route can set you back a pretty penny, so dust off your couponing skills or prepare to barter your firstborn for that lobster roll (though we highly recommend against the latter).
