Travel Essentials
YYZ: EDT · YUL: EDT
When it's 6:00 PM in Toronto, it's 6:00 PM in Montréal.
The UP Express train runs from Union Station (downtown Toronto) to Terminal 1 in 25 minutes (CAD $12.35). Trains depart every 15 minutes during peak hours, every 30 minutes off-peak and overnight. Highway 427 and the 401 are heavily congested during rush hours.
Taxis and ride-hail from downtown cost CAD $50–70 and take 25–60 minutes depending on traffic. MiWay and Brampton Transit buses serve the airport from the western suburbs. Long-term parking is available in the Viscount Road lots with free shuttle service.
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.
YYZ–YUL Quick Facts
Frequently Asked Questions
Toronto to Montreal: Canada's Busiest Air Corridor
YYZ-YUL is consistently among the top five busiest short-haul routes in the world by annual seat count. Air Canada alone operates 10 to 12 daily nonstops from Pearson Terminal 1. WestJet adds additional frequency. The 504 km route takes one hour 15 minutes block-to-block. Traffic is split roughly 60-40 between business and leisure. Montreal's bilingual character and large English-speaking business community in Westmount and downtown makes the Toronto-Montreal pair a major corporate travel market; Bay Street and McGill University create steady academic and financial traffic. Pierre Elliott Trudeau International (YUL) has a single integrated terminal with separate international and domestic wings.
Market Context and Alternatives
Porter Airlines' YTZ-YUL service from downtown Toronto's Billy Bishop Airport provides a separate nonstop option with shorter city-center ground time on both ends; Billy Bishop is 15 minutes from the financial district, versus 35 to 45 minutes for Pearson. VIA Rail's corridor service is the primary alternative, taking four hours 30 minutes to five hours from Union Station to Central Station but avoiding airport check-in overhead. The Quebec City corridor (YUL-YQB) offers onward connections from Montreal. Air Canada operates its Global Centre hub from Pearson, and the YYZ-YUL route is a feeder for transatlantic connections at both ends: European passengers from Montreal can connect at YYZ, and European passengers from Toronto can position to YUL for its own transatlantic service to Paris CDG, London Heathrow, and Brussels.
