About Toronto, Canada

Toronto is Canada's cosmopolitan hub of diverse neighborhoods, lakefront views, and a skyline crowned by the CN Tower. Its quick flight makes it an easy international weekend from NYC.

Air Canada, Delta, United, Porter and WestJet all operate the corridor frequently, so there's rarely a reason to accept a connection. Fares tend to be lowest in May, June and September, outside peak summer and holiday travel. Canada shares Eastern Time with New York, so there's no adjustment needed, though US travelers should carry a valid passport. With such heavy service from both airports, a quick JFK-versus-EWR comparison often turns up cheaper seats.
