Flair launches $1 base fares on select northbound routes

Flair Airlines has launched $1 base fares on select northbound routes from Mexico, the U.S., Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic to Canada.

The offer “is only the beginning,” said the low-cost carrier in a press release Monday (Aug. 26). The Edmonton-based airline says it will continue to introduce $1 base fares on different routes across its network throughout the year.

"We are committed to breaking down barriers to travel, making it possible for more people to explore more places more often," said Flair Airlines CEO Maciej Wilk in a statement. "This $1 base fare launch is not a limited-time gimmick but a sustained commitment to offering unparalleled affordability across our entire network. And yet, our base fare is only a part of the total fare.”

“We hope that airports, particularly in Canada, will follow suit and lower their fees so that more people can be empowered to travel."

The first wave of the offer focuses on northbound travel, but Flair says its $1 base fares will continue to pop up across a variety of routes.

“Our $1 base fares will be available across different routes and regions throughout the year, reflecting our commitment to democratizing air travel. Whether you're headed to the Rockies, the Atlantic, or anywhere else in our network, Flair will keep delivering affordable ways to see the world,” stated Eric Tanner, VP of revenue management and network planning.

The routes on Flair's $1 base fare page will change regularly, Flair says.
