Cheap flights from Glasgow to Montreal

Montreal's summer and the winter holiday weeks are the expensive stretch of the year, and January into February works back down to the cheap end of the calendar. The facts name February as the cheapest month on this route. Midweek departures usually beat Friday and Sunday travel, and booking well ahead matters more in high season than in the quieter months.

Most tickets on this route involve a connection: Aer Lingus routes through Dublin, Lufthansa through a German hub, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines through Amsterdam, and United Airlines, Delta Air Lines and American Airlines through their own US gateways. Easyjet appears on Glasgow departures but not to Montreal itself, so watch for split itineraries. British Airways offers the direct option, as does Air Transat, a leisure carrier where baggage and meals often depend on the fare you pick.

Montreal Trudeau International is a mid-sized airport, so immigration queues in peak summer can be the slowest part of your arrival, while baggage claim is usually quick once you are through. The express shuttle and city buses run to downtown Montreal, and taxis line up outside arrivals. Allow extra time if you land during a holiday week or a big festival weekend.
