How long is the flight from Toronto to Montreal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Non-stop flights from Toronto to Montreal take roughly 1 hour 20 minutes<\/strong> in the air. It is a short hop, which is why frequency on the route is so high. No passport is needed for domestic travel, but every passenger aged 18 and over must carry valid government-issued photo identification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which airlines fly Toronto to Montreal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Air Canada and Porter Airlines operate the most flights between Toronto and Montreal, with WestJet and Flair Airlines also serving the route. Porter is well known for the route, flying from the downtown Billy Bishop airport, while Air Canada offers near-hourly departures from Pearson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much do Toronto to Montreal flights cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One-way economy fares between Toronto and Montreal usually fall between C$80 and C$250, among the lowest of any Canadian route thanks to high frequency and competition. Fares rise around holidays and peak business periods. As with most domestic routes<\/a>, booking a few weeks ahead and travelling mid-week is cheapest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When is the cheapest time to fly Toronto to Montreal?<\/h2>\n

Toronto–Montreal is one of Canada’s busiest air corridors, dominated by business travellers, so the pricing pattern is about the day and time more than the season. Weekday morning and early-evening flights — the commuter peaks — are the most expensive, while midday, late-evening and weekend departures are noticeably cheaper. Fares stay fairly flexible thanks to the huge frequency, so two to three weeks’ notice is often enough. The main seasonal spikes are the December holidays and major event weekends in either city.<\/p>\n

Tips for finding a cheaper Toronto to Montreal fare<\/h2>\n

Porter and Air Canada run frequent, almost shuttle-style service, and Flair adds a budget option. Porter’s Billy Bishop (YTZ) base puts you in downtown Toronto and lands you close to central Montreal — often quicker door-to-door than a Pearson departure once you factor in ground time. On such a short hop (about an hour and twenty minutes in the air), the cheapest good option is usually an off-peak midday flight; and if total travel time matters more than speed, the train can rival a cheap fare once airport time is counted.<\/p>\n
