Figari to Montréal (FSC–YUL) — Airlines, Schedules & Connections

French passport holders do not need a visa for Canada but must obtain an eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) before flying. The eTA costs CAD 7, is applied for online, and most approvals come through within minutes. It is valid for 5 years or until the passport expires. Stays are permitted for up to 6 months per entry.

The eTA is only required for air travel. If entering Canada by land or sea, no eTA is needed, just a valid passport. Passport must be valid for the duration of the intended stay.

The 747 Express bus departs from the arrivals level every 20–30 minutes around the clock (CAD $11). It stops at several downtown métro stations, making it convenient for most city-centre destinations. Taxis from the arrivals level charge a flat rate of CAD $45 to downtown; Uber and Lyft are available from a separate ride-share zone.Rental car facilities are located on-site in the terminal complex. During winter, confirm road conditions before driving; Highway 20 can be slow or briefly closed during heavy snowstorms.

Continental climate with dramatic seasonal swings. Summers (June–August) are warm and humid at 24–30°C with occasional thunderstorms. Winters (December–March) are severe, with temperatures regularly dropping to −15°C or colder and heavy snowfall that causes frequent de-icing delays and occasional ground stops.

Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) are transitional and relatively pleasant, though spring snowstorms are not unusual. Pack serious winter gear from November through March; ice storms in early spring create particularly difficult travel conditions.
