Flair Airlines Adds More Flights To Orlando Airport With Launch Of Toronto Service

Flair Airlines has inaugurated its new route between Toronto and Orlando, which becomes the Canadian low-cost carrier’s second connection with the Florida destination. Flair will operate 11 peak weekly flights between Toronto Pearson International (YYZ) and Orlando International (MCO) until late April 2025 and is set to debut flights from London and Saint John in the coming days.

The inaugural flight departed Toronto at 07:23 on December 16th and arrived in Orlando at 09:46. This early morning flight will be one of two departures on peak days, the other being an evening service with a scheduled arrival time of 23:15. Flair Airlines celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and an appearance by the ‘Flairy Godmother’ to see off passengers.

Flights will be split between Flair’s Boeing 737 MAX 8 and Boeing 737-800 fleet – both aircraft are all-economy and can seat up to 189 passengers. On peak days, Flair will offer two daily flights on the following schedule:

YYZ to MCO

• F81690 – Departs Toronto at 07:10, arrives in Orlando at 10:10
• F81692 – Departs Toronto at 20:15, arrives in Orlando at 23:15

MCO to YYZ

• F81691 – Departs Orlando at 10:55, arrives in Toronto at 13:55
• F81693 – Departs Orlando at 16:30, arrives in Toronto at 19:30

Flair is offering one-way fares for its new Toronto-Orlando route starting at C$36 ($25).

Four Orlando winter routes

Given the weather in Canada at this time of year, there is high local demand for winter sun destinations like Orlando. The Florida city is known as the ‘Theme Park Capital of the World,’ home to world-class attractions like Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort. Demand will also go the other way, with plenty of Floridians eager to experience the snow over the winter.

Flair launched its first route to Orlando from Kitchener-Waterloo in late October, which will run with 3 peak weekly frequencies. It is also set to inaugurate new routes from London and Saint John later this week—its London service will begin on Friday, Dec 20th, followed by flights from Saint John on Sunday, Dec 22nd.

Casandra Matej, president and CEO of Visit Orlando, said,

“The new direct flights from Toronto Pearson, London and Saint John, which join the recent addition of Kitchener-Waterloo, are making it even easier for Canadians to travel to the theme park capital of the world.”

While Flair will be the only carrier flying to Orlando from Kitchener-Waterloo, London and Saint John, it will face competition from three other airlines on the Toronto route, namely Air Canada, Porter Airlines and WestJet.
