Correct Answer: least expensive


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Least is the superlative form of the adjective less, used to compare three or more things.

Lest is a conjunction meaning for fear that or in case, and it doesn’t fit in this context, as it's used for expressing a negative purpose or intent, not to compare the cost of flights.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The early morning flight is the least expensive.
