Price watch
What a great fare looks like from your airport
Our deal thresholds show the price to pounce on. When fares dip below them, we email subscribers.
"Deal under" is CheapFly's guidance threshold for a great return economy fare in CAD, including taxes, based on historical fare patterns. It is not a live price. Fares change constantly; always confirm on the booking site.

Partnership optionsFrequently asked questions
Is CheapFly.ca free?
Yes. Deal alerts, guides, the price watch and every tool are free. CheapFly is supported by advertising, sponsors and voluntary reader support, and never charges booking fees.
Does CheapFly sell flights?
No. CheapFly is an independent publisher, not a travel agency. Our search tool opens your trip on the booking or search site you choose, and you book directly with the airline or that site.
Which airports do you cover?
We track fares from 16 Canadian airports — including Toronto, Vancouver, Montréal, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Halifax and Winnipeg — plus nearby US border airports that often save Canadians money.
What is a deal threshold in the price watch?
It is our guidance for a great return economy fare on that route in Canadian dollars, including taxes, based on typical fare patterns. It is not a live price, but when you see a fare under it, it is usually worth booking quickly.
How often will I get deal alerts?
You choose. Pick instant alerts for big drops and mistake fares, or a weekly digest. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link.
Can I trust mistake fares?
Most are honoured, but not all. Book refundable hotels and avoid non-refundable plans until your ticket is ticketed and confirmed for a few days. Our error-fare guide explains the risks.
