Arajet has dropped the price of their flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Guayaquil and Quito, Ecuador down to between $389 and $423 CAD roundtrip including taxes.

This price includes a piece of checked luggage. I like to give you the realistic price as Arajet doesn't include any luggage with their cheapest prices. The unrealistic price would be $278 CAD roundtrip.

The flights have 1 stop in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic each way.

In both cases, the layover on the way there is alright (2.5 to 4.5 hours). But on the way home it's a longer one (7-8 hours).

Guayaquil is the gateway to the Galapagos.

How to find and book this deal

1. Go to the Arajet website.

2. Put a checkmark beside 'Show calendar' before searching.

3. Search for a flight from Toronto (YYZ) to Guayaquil (GYE) or Quito (UIO), Ecuador

NOTE: Arajet's website only displays prices in $USD.

- Look for the dates that are $102 USD on the way there, and $101-$126 USD on the way home.

- If you choose the 'Smart Bundle' you can add a checked bag separately a few steps into the booking process for $80 USD roundtrip.

So the total with a checked bag and after conversion to Canadian dollars will work out to approximately $389-$423 CAD roundtrip.

- Alternatively, if you choose the 'Comfort Bundle' for $129 USD it includes a checked bag.

TAP Portugal has dropped the price of their Fall and Winter 2024-2025 flights from Toronto to Lisbon, Faro, and Porto, Portugal down to between $534 and $579 CAD roundtrip including taxes.

Flights from Toronto to Madeira or The Azores are also available for a similar price.

You can also find flights from Toronto to various places in France (Paris, Lyon, Nice, Toulouse, or Marseille) and the United Kingdom (London, Manchester) for $530-$579 roundtrip.

And flights from Toronto to Marrakesh or Casablanca, Morocco are available for $750-$791 roundtrip. (Air Canada also has a few Casablanca dates in October).

Air Transat has also responded with some similar prices on their nonstop flights from Toronto to Lisbon and Porto.

Like everything in our lives, these have crept up in price over the last few years. Taking a look back at TAP's deal history on these nonstop flights to Lisbon shows...

November 2022 - $394 to $442 roundtrip

January 2023 - $399 to $426 roundtrip

April 2023 - $504 roundtrip

January 2024 - $465 roundtrip

It does seem possible that we might still see these offered in the $400s roundtrip at some point.

Although for the last 60 days they've been firmly planted in the $700s.

You can also find Business Class flights from Toronto to these same destinations in Portugal for $1999 CAD roundtrip. These have also been cheaper in the recent past, sometimes offered for around $1700 roundtrip when TAP has a large price drop.

But they are still around 45% cheaper than TAP's usual business class prices, and 55% cheaper than Air Canada's prices on the same YYZ-LIS route.

UPDATE: Most of the Economy class fares mentioned in this post have returned for the price mentioned here. The Business Class fares are $200-$300 higher this time.

A tip from a YYZ Deals follower regarding the new Canadian passports and Lisbon

"FYI just flew into Lisbon airport this week. The customs lane for Canadian passport does not work for the new Canadian passports.
Go to the lane for all passports. Do not waste your time in the Canadian passport line cause you’ll just get sent to the back of the all passports line to wait again."

Other people have mentioned that the lane for electronic passports has worked for them in the past, but it seems to vary....

"Worked for us last Feb but in October it was not operational"

"My wife and I were in Lisbon in April. I have a new passport and it wouldn’t scan when we landed so I had to join the other general line and it took 2.5 hrs to get through. When we were flying out I tried the Canadian line again and that time it scanned no problem. Seems like it’s hit or miss."
