Get cheap flights from YVR airport in Vancouver to YYZ airport in Toronto with WestJet, Air Canada, Lynx Air, Porter Airlines, and Flair Airlines.

Flair Airlines is no longer the cheapest option for Vancouverites looking to fly to "The 6ix."

While the ultra-low-cost carrier has famously offered the lowest fares from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) for years, a new airline is shaking up affordable air travel for folks headed back east. 

Lynx Airlines, a , has prowled its way into the lead of the low-cost race, offering the cheapest price on one of Canada's most popular routes: YVR to Toronto Lester B. Pearson. 

Now, travellers headed east from B.C.'s Lower Mainland to Canada's largest city can fly for as little as $59 including tax with Lynx on select dates.

Flair Airlines may no longer offer the cheapest ticket to Toronto, but the carrier's prices are far from pricey. Most of its one-way tickets start for under $100, with fares for the popular YVR to YYZ trip totalling $89 including all taxes and fees. 

But travellers may want to consider the possible ramifications of booking with the budget airline at this time. 

Flair Airlines has come under fire in recent weeks following the seizure of four of its aircraft after it allegedly failed to make lease payments to a New York-based hedge fund. The seizure resulted in mass cancellations across the discount carrier's extensive networks,  or scrambling to make alternative arrangements. 

That said, the airline stresses that its flights are running back on schedule and it is committed to offering the most competitive fares on the market.

Porter Airlines also offers an alternative for folks looking to try a new airline who want to avoid budget options. It strives for a more "premium economy" experience, complete with its complimentary beer and wine served in glassware, along with a selection of premium snacks.

The E195-E2 aircraft, the one used on the new route, is the most environmentally-friendly single-aisle aircraft, at 65 per cent quieter and up to 25 per cent cleaner than previous-generation technology. It has the lowest fuel consumption per seat and per trip among 120 to 150-seat aircraft and is the quietest single-aisle jet flying today. 

Locals can fly for as little as $143.43 with Porter on the popular route.
