Niagara Falls International Airport is just across the border from Niagara Falls, Ontario and a quick 24 min drive! It’s 135km from Downtown Toronto, and even closer for those living in the Mississauga, Oakville, Hamilton, Stoney Creek, and St. Catherines.
Book this flight directly with the American Ultra Low Cost Carrier (ULCC) Allegiant Air at https://allegiantair.com
There are only a few seats available so act fast. Allegiant is no frills and caters to Canadians who want to escape Canada’s expensive flight prices to the USA. Don’t expect on-board entertainment, wifi, or any frill by any means.
Like every ULCC, Allegiant will charge you to carry-on or check in a bag, and they charge you more the later you decide to check-in (at purchase, at check-in, etc). If you want to select your seat you will pay 14USD to 17USD for that privilege per flight.
You can bring a standard carry-on bag for an extra $20USD each way, and a checked in bag for an extra $25USD each way. Priority boarding will cost you $6.95USD.
Pack as light as possible, wave the priority boarding (nobody needs to be that fancy), and get this amazing price for $116CAD. If you really want the full carry-on bag, then shell out the $40USD, and you are still looking at an amazing price here.
I fly light, and they will allow you to use a small personal item free of charge such as a backpack. I’ve done it. You can fit a lot inside of a small backpack with the right bag and some creativity. Plus, they never weigh your personal item!
Maximum carry-on (upgrade) baggage dimensions –> 9 x 14 x 22 inches (22.9 x 35.6 x 55.9cm)
Maximum personal item dimensions are –> 7 x 15 x 16 inches (17.8 x 38.1 x 40.6cm) . (…… you can do it!)
