Cheapest Flights from Toronto Right Now
Last updated: February 2026. We update this page monthly with the latest fare data from YYZ.
Every month, we dig through thousands of fares departing Toronto Pearson (YYZ) and nearby airports to find the cheapest flights available. These aren't hypothetical prices — they're real fares we've verified on airline websites and booking platforms at the time of writing.
Prices change constantly. If you see something you like, book it. The fares listed below may not last more than a few days.
This Month's Standout Deals
| Destination | Price (CAD, roundtrip) | Airline | Approx. Flight Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Calgary | $101 | Flair Airlines | 4h 15m | Ultra-low-cost — add baggage fees |
| Abbotsford, BC | $115 | Flair Airlines | 5h | Budget alternative to Vancouver |
| Vancouver (via Hamilton) | $157 | Porter Airlines | 5h | Departs from Hamilton (YHM) |
| Abbotsford, BC (via Kitchener) | $185 | WestJet | 5h | Departs from Kitchener (YKF) |
| Montreal | ~$150–180 | Porter, Air Canada | 1h 15m | Frequent sales on this route |
| New York | ~$180–220 | Porter, Air Canada, United | 1h 30m | Check Billy Bishop (YTZ) too |
| Cancun | ~$350–450 | WestJet, Air Canada, Flair | 4h 30m | Shoulder season pricing |
| London, UK | ~$550–700 | Air Canada, British Airways | 7h 15m | Summer 2026 fares down 10% |
The cheapest fares from the Toronto area sometimes depart from Hamilton (YHM) or Kitchener (YKF) rather than Pearson (YYZ). These airports are 45–90 minutes from downtown Toronto and are served by ultra-low-cost and discount carriers that keep prices aggressive. We include them because a $101 flight to Calgary is worth a drive to Hamilton.
Domestic Deals: Fly Across Canada for Less
Domestic fares from Toronto have been steadily dropping thanks to competition from Flair Airlines and Porter's expanding jet service. Here's where the best value is right now:
Calgary (YYC)
The $101 Flair fare to Calgary is the cheapest domestic deal we've seen this month. That's a bare-bones fare — no checked bag, no seat selection — but if you pack light, it's extraordinary value for a 4-hour flight across the country. WestJet and Air Canada serve the same route starting around $200–250 roundtrip with more included.
Vancouver (YVR)
Getting to Vancouver for under $200 roundtrip is possible if you're willing to fly from Hamilton. Porter's $157 fare from YHM is hard to beat. From Pearson, expect $250–350 on Air Canada or WestJet. Watch for sales in April and May — historically the cheapest months for domestic travel.
Montreal (YUL)
Montreal is one of the most competitive routes from Toronto, with Porter, Air Canada, and Flair all fighting for passengers. Roundtrip fares regularly dip below $180, and flash sales can push them under $130. Billy Bishop (YTZ) to Montreal is also worth checking — the downtown-to-downtown convenience is unbeatable.
Other Domestic Routes Worth Watching
- Ottawa — Often $150–200 roundtrip. Porter from Billy Bishop is the most convenient option.
- Edmonton — Similar pricing to Calgary. Flair competes aggressively here too.
- Winnipeg — Less competition means higher fares ($250–350), but sales do happen.
- Halifax — Usually $250–350 roundtrip. Watch for WestJet and Air Canada sales.
US Deals: Cross-Border Bargains
US destinations from Toronto are competitively priced thanks to multiple carriers on most routes and the US Preclearance facility at Pearson (clear customs before you fly — no lines on arrival).
Best US Values Right Now
- New York — $180–220 roundtrip. Multiple daily flights from both Pearson and Billy Bishop. Porter's Newark service from YTZ is the most convenient for downtown-to-downtown travel.
- Orlando — $250–350 roundtrip. Flair, WestJet, and Air Canada all serve this route. March Break (March 16–20 in Ontario) pushes prices up significantly — book well before or after.
- Las Vegas — $300–400 roundtrip. Direct flights on WestJet and Air Canada. Midweek departures are consistently $50–100 cheaper.
- Miami / Fort Lauderdale — $280–400 roundtrip. Two airports mean more options. Check both MIA and FLL when searching.
- Los Angeles — $350–450 roundtrip. Nonstop on Air Canada and WestJet. One-stop options on US carriers can save $50–100.
For US domestic connections, Buffalo Niagara (BUF) — 90 minutes from Toronto — often has significantly cheaper fares on US carriers like Southwest, JetBlue, and Frontier. A flight from Buffalo to Orlando can be $100–200 less than from Pearson. Factor in gas, tolls, parking ($11/day economy), and border crossing time to see if the savings are worth it.
Caribbean and Mexico Deals
Toronto is one of the best departure cities in North America for Caribbean deals. Multiple carriers compete on sun routes year-round, and prices are most aggressive in shoulder season (April–May, November).
- Cancun — $350–450 roundtrip in spring. The single most popular sun destination from YYZ with multiple daily nonstops. Flair sometimes offers sub-$300 fares.
- Punta Cana — $400–550 roundtrip. Air Transat and WestJet both serve this route with competitive pricing.
- Cuba — $350–500 roundtrip (Varadero or Havana). Still one of the cheapest Caribbean options from Toronto. Canadians can fly here easily — unlike American travellers.
- Jamaica (Montego Bay) — $400–550 roundtrip. Nonstop on WestJet and Air Canada.
- Dominican Republic (Santo Domingo) — Often overlooked in favour of Punta Cana, but flights can be $50–100 cheaper.

Here's the headline: summer 2026 airfare to Europe from Toronto is down roughly 10% compared to last year. Transatlantic demand has softened while airlines have actually increased capacity — which means more seats chasing fewer bookings. If you've been waiting for a European trip, this is the year.
Best European Values Right Now
- London — $550–700 roundtrip for summer. More daily nonstops from YYZ than any other European destination. Air Canada, British Airways, and WestJet all compete.
- Paris — $600–800 roundtrip. Air Canada (T1) and Air France (T3) both offer nonstops.
- Lisbon — $550–750 roundtrip. TAP Portugal's nonstop is often the cheapest way into southern Europe. From Lisbon, budget carriers fly all over the continent for $30–80.
- Dublin — $550–700 roundtrip. Aer Lingus seasonal nonstop. Ireland is also a gateway — connect cheaply to the UK and mainland Europe via Ryanair.
- Amsterdam — $600–800 roundtrip. KLM nonstop. Schiphol is one of Europe's best connecting airports.
- Rome — $650–850 roundtrip. Air Canada nonstop in summer. Shoulder season (September–October) often drops below $600.
Don't fly into and out of the same city. Book a multi-city itinerary — fly into London, take trains through France, and fly home from Barcelona. Open-jaw flights are often the same price as or cheaper than roundtrip to a single city, and you avoid wasting a day backtracking. Google Flights makes this easy with its multi-city search.
How We Find These Deals
We don't just check Google Flights once and call it a day. Here's our actual process:
- Automated fare monitoring. We track prices on dozens of routes from YYZ daily, flagging when fares drop below historical norms.
- Airline sale alerts. We monitor Air Canada, WestJet, Porter, Air Transat, Flair, and international carriers for flash sales and seat sales — many of which are only advertised on the airline's own channels.
- Error fare networks. We monitor communities and data sources that catch pricing mistakes — fares published at the wrong price due to technical glitches. These can save 40–90% but disappear within hours.
- Seasonal pattern analysis. We know that April is historically the cheapest month for flights from Toronto (averaging around $399 one-way), and we time our alerts around these patterns.
When we find something worth sharing, we send it to our subscribers. That's it — no spam, no affiliate-heavy "top 10 airlines" listicles. Just real deals, in CAD, from your airport.
Tips to Always Get the Cheapest Fare
Beyond checking this page monthly, here are the booking strategies that consistently save money:
Timing Your Booking
| Strategy | Details | Potential Savings |
|---|---|---|
| Book 47–64 days ahead | The sweet spot for domestic and short-haul international fares from Toronto | 15–30% vs. last-minute |
| Fly in April or May | Historically the cheapest months for flights from YYZ. April averages ~$399 one-way. | 20–40% vs. peak months |
| Depart on Friday | Data from Expedia's 2026 report shows Friday departures are cheapest from Canadian airports | Up to 8% vs. Sunday |
| Avoid Monday departures | Monday is consistently the most expensive departure day | — |
| Fly midweek (Tue–Thu) | Thursday is the cheapest departure day for Canadians according to 2026 data | 20–30% vs. weekend |
| Book on Friday | Expedia's 2026 data suggests Friday is the best day to make your booking | Varies |
Other Proven Strategies
- Be flexible on destination. The cheapest flight from Toronto changes every week. If you just want to get away, let the deals dictate where you go rather than searching for a fixed destination.
- Check nearby airports. Hamilton (YHM), Kitchener (YKF), and Billy Bishop (YTZ) all serve Toronto-area travellers with different carriers and sometimes dramatically lower fares.
- Set price alerts. Google Flights lets you track prices on any route and sends email notifications when fares change. Set alerts on 3–5 destinations and book whichever drops first.
- Compare bag fees. A $101 Flair fare isn't $101 if you need a checked bag ($60+ roundtrip). Always calculate your total cost including baggage before deciding.
- Use points strategically. Aeroplan and WestJet Rewards points are most valuable for long-haul flights where cash prices are highest. Don't burn 25,000 points on a $150 domestic flight.
If you see a good fare, book it. Don't wait for it to get cheaper — it almost never does. The people who get the best deals are the ones who act fast when a price drops, not the ones who spend weeks comparing $10 differences across search engines.
