Toronto-Lagos booking tips

Book 6-8 weeks out for off-peak, 3-4 months for December

Fewer airlines serve YYZ-LOS than London or NYC routes, so seats fill faster. Don't sleep on it.

Ethiopian via Addis is cheapest but longest

If time matters, Royal Air Maroc via Casablanca is 2-3 hours shorter for about CAD $50 more. Turkish via Istanbul is the comfort sweet spot.

Fly midweek — Tuesday and Wednesday save money

Weekend departures from Pearson cost CAD $100-200 more. Tuesday flights are consistently cheapest.

Don't bother positioning to JFK

The hassle of getting to New York rarely saves enough. Jetcost often finds YYZ fares within CAD $50-100 of JFK prices.
