Is it just me, or have flights to/from Toronto become super expensive lately? I was looking to book flights almost six months in advance, and a roundtrip south of the border is running me more than six hundred dollars! I would normally be able to get something from 200-300 dollars.

On a side note, flights from buffalo cost half as much. Wtf man.

I'm guessing the higher cost of travelling is as a result of rising fuel prices. But if Buffalo is half, then maybe that theory doesn't stick.

I don't think that's the whole story though. Flights from florida to buffalo, nyc, detroit cost half as much, and those places aren't that far from Toronto.

The reason why traveling to and from Toronto is expensive is because of the extremely high landing costs at Pearson.

Its one of the highest in North America, and its pretty retarded.

Airport Landing Fees

It costs nearly four times as much to land at Pearson than it does at the next Canadian airport on the list

Word....


Many friends n ppl I know fly out of Buffalo and other american cities that border toronto/canada...

Infact my sis flew outta buffalo for her honeymoon and saved like close to 600 bucks on a two way trip to the Caribbean after paying for car rental n all that..

Pearson is still the busiest ...plane lands every 10 mins or so...and will remain so for a while. It's a monopoly of the worst kind, the fed knows ppl have no choice but to use pearson, so they charge the highest fees they can...and guess what? cargo companies, airlines, etc. have no option but to comply and pass the fees on to the customers ...


I'm waiting for the day when Hamilton builds its own international airport, pearson folks & feds will have no option but to lower prices...

ITS MORE EXPENSIVE TO FLY...GAS IS EXPENSIVE, CLOTHES, SHOES, CARS HELLA EXPENSIVE...ON TOP OF THAT INCOME TAXES....F@#$@#$@#$@#$@#$@#$

I AM SERIOUSLY STARTING TO HATE CANADA...

Asalamu Alaikum,

I'm visiting Toronto this summer inshaAllah. I haven't been there in a long time...I want to visit a few childhood favorite spots, like the apple picking farms, center island, the Safari, Nugget Mosque...POUTINE (okie thats food)

Anyways, apple picking farms, anyone actually go to these? Can anyone recommend some good ones?

Fi AmanAllah
