Low-cost airline offers $1 base fares to Pearson Airport in Mississauga

Budget travellers take note — $1 base fare flights are on offer to Pearson Airport in Mississauga.

Flair Airlines launched a $1 base fare initiative on Monday.

The $1 base fares are on select northbound flights from the U.S., Mexico, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic to several airports in Canada including Pearson, London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, St. John’s and Montreal.

The one-way fares do not include taxes and fees. It also doesn’t include checked or carry-on luggage. A flight from Nashville to Pearson was listed on Monday for $31, and Punta Cana, Dominican Republic was $74.

The airline says it has launched the lower-cost fares to make travel more accessible.

“We are committed to breaking down barriers to travel, making it possible for more people to explore more places more often,” says Flair Airlines CEO Maciej Wilk.

“This $1 base fare launch is not a limited-time gimmick but a sustained commitment to offering unparalleled affordability across our entire network,” Wilk said. “And yet, our base fare is only a part of the total fare. We hope that airports, particularly in Canada, will follow suit and lower their fees so that more people can be empowered to travel.”

While the initial focus is on northbound travel, Flair says it will introduce more $1 base fares on different routes across its network throughout the year.

“Whether you’re headed to the Rockies, the Atlantic, or anywhere else in our network, Flair will keep delivering affordable ways to see the world,” says Eric Tanner, VP of revenue management and network planning at Flair Airlines.

Travellers should check the Flair website regularly, as routes will frequently change, driven by seasonality and demand, the airline says.
