The quickest nonstop flight to California from Toronto takes around five hours, six minutes, from YYZ to LAX. SFO is the other airport with direct flights from Toronto, and the quickest takes about five hours and 34 minutes. You’ll only find one- and two-stop flights from Toronto to ONT and SMF. The fastest flight from Toronto to ONT takes about ten hours with a single layover in Denver, while the quickest flight to SMF takes about seven hours and 30 minutes with a stop either in San Francisco, Chicago, or Washington. YYZ is the better of the two Toronto airports because it offers more flights a day, and it is also the only Toronto airport offering direct flights to California. However, the airport is quite far from downtown Toronto, so if you want easier access to downtown, YTZ would be the better option. Here you’ll find single- and double-layover flights to California offered mostly by budget carriers.
