News / Canadian connectivity: Flair Airlines adds new routes to Orlando
Up to 18 weekly flights at peak season
Low-cost carrier Flair Airlines has announced four new routes to Orlando coming this winter. The airline will launch new connections to Orlando out of Kitchener-Waterloo, London, Saint John and Toronto, with up to 18 weekly frequencies at its peak.
Flair Airlines adds new Orlando winter routes
Starting October 29th, Flair will once again operate flights to the theme park capital of the world and a popular winter sun destination that will undoubtedly appeal to Canadians escaping the cold. To kick off its winter schedule, the airline will first launch from Kitchener-Waterloo in late October, and by December, it will connect four Canadian airports to Orlando International Airport (MCO) just in time for the Christmas holidays:
Route | Frequency | Start Date | Starting Fare |
---|---|---|---|
Kitchener-Waterloo (YKF) - Orlando (MCO) | Up to 3x weekly | October 29th | $94 |
Toronto (YYZ) - Orlando (MCO) | Up to 12x weekly | December 16th | $114 |
London (YXU) - Orlando (MCO) | 2x weekly | December 20th | $94 |
Saint John (YSJ) - Orlando (MCO) | 1x weekly | December 22nd | $124 |
Flights on the return journey have an even lower starting price, with fares as low as $44 from Orlando to Kitchener-Waterloo, $54 from Orlando to Toronto, and $59 from Orlando to London and Saint John. Toronto will see up to 12 weekly roundtrips during peak travel periods, with Flair set to compete with four other airlines - Air Canada, Jetlines, Porter Airlines and WestJet - on this route.
Flair will be uncontested on its upcoming routes from regional airports Kitchener-Waterloo, London, and Saint John, which are set to benefit from a key tourism draw in Orlando, particularly Saint John, which currently only has domestic connections.
From Orlando Sandford to MCO
Flair launched a couple of new routes to Orlando last winter, but these flights were based out of secondary airport Orlando Sandford (SFB). According to Cirium data, this summer, the Canadian carrier will serve just one Florida destination, Fort Lauderdale (FLL), before its expansion this winter.
Flair is gearing up for its busiest-ever summer, which will include the launch of its newest route from Vancouver (YVR) to Guadalajara (GDL) on May 31st. The airline's fleet currently consists of 18 Boeing 737 MAX 8s and two Boeing 737-800s, and it will serve 35 destinations this summer.
