Vancouver-Toronto is one of the busiest routes in Canada, with flights all day from four airlines.
Best time to fly from Vancouver to Toronto
June to September is warm and busy with harbour cruises and Niagara boats; September brings the film festival crowds; December has Christmas markets; winters are cold and snowy, and the 401, 427 and Gardiner Expressway are slow at weekday rush hours. For the fare itself, the cheapest flights from Vancouver to Toronto are found outside school holidays and major events, on mid-week days, booked early. Peak weeks sell out first and cost most; shoulder months give the best mix of weather, availability and price.
Return flight from Toronto to Vancouver
We book the return leg from Toronto to Vancouver just as easily, typically on the same ticket. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles - on some airlines the return is much cheaper, on others two one-ways with different carriers win. Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.
How much is a flight from Vancouver to Toronto?
"How much is the Vancouver to Toronto flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours provides the current cost for your travel date shortly afterwards of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.
Let us know for two or three options and we send the cost of each - for example the cheapest fare with hand luggage only, the same flight with a checked bag, and the best-timed departure of the day - so the comparison is in front of you before you book.
Cheapest flight from Vancouver to Toronto: how to pay less
Finding cheap flights from Vancouver to Toronto is timing plus flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds the lowest fare on the route:
- Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
- Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are generally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
- Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which frequently carry the lowest fares
- Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
- Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
- Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
We answer "what is the cheapest way to fly from Vancouver to Toronto?" many times a day; the answer for your date comes back through WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.
How to book flights from Vancouver to Toronto with Haqqi Tours
Booking a flight from Vancouver to Toronto with us takes a few minutes and one conversation. Complete the form above with your dates, whether you want a one-way or a return, how many adults and children are flying and the class you prefer. Our team then messages you by WhatsApp to check your booking: we confirm the flights available that day, the airline, the baggage included and the cost. You choose, we book, and the e-ticket arrives in the same chat.
- Step 1 - fill in the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
- Step 2 - we message you on WhatsApp with the flights, the baggage included and the cost
- Step 3 - you confirm the flight you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
- Step 4 - we issue the electronic ticket and send it; we stay in touch until you land in Toronto
Because a person books it, we can do what a booking site does not: seat a family together, choose the fare with the right bag, add an infant correctly, line up the Vancouver to Toronto flight with a transfer from your hotel to Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and a driver waiting at Toronto Pearson (Porter and Air Canada Express also use Billy Bishop) (YYZ / YTZ).
Airlines flying from Vancouver to Toronto
Who flies from Vancouver to Toronto? Air Canada, WestJet, Porter Airlines and Flair Airlines. Between them the route runs 10+ a day. We compare their fares, timings and baggage for the date you travel and send the two or three that make sense, not a list of fifty.
- Air Canada - Vancouver to Toronto
- WestJet - Vancouver to Toronto
- Porter Airlines - Vancouver to Toronto
- Flair Airlines - Vancouver to Toronto
Departure: Vancouver International Airport (YVR)
Your journey starts at Vancouver International Airport (YVR). We tell you the terminal for your airline, when check-in and bag drop close, and whether the airport has fast-track security worth booking. The Canada Line SkyTrain runs from the airport to downtown in about 25 minutes and is the best option with a cabin bag and a hotel near a station; a private car is simpler with luggage, a cruise departure from Canada Place, the ferry terminals, Whistler or the North Shore.
- Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the e-ticket - names must match exactly
- Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
- Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your hotel in Vancouver to Vancouver International Airport
- Ask us about the terminal and fast-track options at Vancouver International Airport
Arrival: Toronto Pearson (Porter and Air Canada Express also use Billy Bishop) (YYZ / YTZ) and getting into Toronto
You arrive at Toronto Pearson (Porter and Air Canada Express also use Billy Bishop) (YYZ / YTZ). The UP Express train links Pearson to Union Station in under 30 minutes every 15 minutes and suits a downtown hotel with a light bag; a private car is simpler with family luggage, for hotels outside the core, and for Niagara Falls, Niagara-on-the-Lake or Blue Mountain, which have no quick metro, tram or bus. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your accommodation in Toronto, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.
Many passengers continue from Toronto to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.
Baggage, seats and classes on the Vancouver to Toronto flight
Baggage is the item that most frequently changes the real cost of a flight from Vancouver to Toronto. Full-service fares normally include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.
- Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
- Seat selection free or paid depending on the carrier; families seated together on request
- Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
- Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
Flying with children, families and groups from Vancouver to Toronto
Travelling with children? Put the ages on the form: infants and children have different fares and different baggage allowances, and we apply both. Groups - a company, a school, a wedding party - are booked together so everyone sits in the same section and one confirmation covers the whole party. Haqqi Tours also provides the minivans and Sprinters that carry a group between the airport and the hotel at both ends.
Things to do in Toronto when you land
Toronto is Canada's largest city on Lake Ontario, with the CN Tower, the islands, Kensington market and Niagara two hours away. Start with the Royal Ontario Museum, the Art Gallery of Ontario and St. Lawrence Market, then Casa Loma and the Toronto Islands ferry. A tip from our desk: Pearson has Terminals 1 and 3, so tell us your airline and flight number; check entry requirements such as the eTA or a visa before you travel, and for Billy Bishop remember the driver meets you on the mainland side after the short ferry or tunnel.
If you want the days in Toronto organised - a driver, a guide, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it in the WhatsApp chat.

How early should I be at Vancouver International Airport?
Around two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one, more at peak times or with bags to check. Low-cost airlines close bag drop early - we send the exact deadline with the ticket.
Can Haqqi Tours arrange airport transfers?
Certainly. We provide private transfers from your hotel to Vancouver International Airport and from Toronto Pearson (Porter and Air Canada Express also use Billy Bishop) to your hotel, flight tracked, on the same confirmation as the ticket.
Can I book the Vancouver to Toronto flight for a group?
Certainly. Give the number of passengers on the form; we book everyone together in one reservation and, when the numbers justify it, ask the airline for a group fare.

As early as your dates allow. Low fare classes open months ahead and disappear as the plane fills; holidays, weekends and summer departures sell first.
