Compare fares across all airlines on FareEagle to find the best deal. Prices fluctuate based on demand, seasonality, and how far in advance you book. Generally, booking 2-4 weeks ahead for domestic flights and 6-8 weeks for international routes gives the best value.

The following airlines operate regular services between Leh and Toronto. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.
