Montreal is served primarily by Montréal–Trudeau International Airport (YUL), the city’s main international hub that handles most long-haul and major-carrier flights, and by the smaller Montréal–Mirabel (YMX) which now focuses largely on cargo and occasional charters. YUL sits about 20–25 minutes (20–25 km) west of downtown by car; taxis and ride-shares typically take 20–40 minutes depending on traffic and can be pricier than public transit. The 747 and Express métro-bus routes plus commuter trains offer regular connections in roughly 30–50 minutes with modest fares and transfer options. Toronto-bound or budget-focused travelers may find fewer low-cost options at YUL compared with some other hubs, but it usually provides a broad mix of international and domestic carriers. Pros: convenient rail/bus links and full-service amenities; cons: peak-hour congestion and potentially higher taxi costs.
Calgary International Airport (YYC) is the city’s main international and domestic hub, serving major carriers like Air Canada, WestJet and a range of US and international airlines, while smaller regional operators also use the field. Located about 12 km northeast of downtown, it can be reached by taxi in roughly 20–30 minutes or by the Calgary Transit Route 202 in around 30–45 minutes; fares typically fall within public-transit ticket rates or taxi/ride-share ranges depending on service. YYC tends to offer mid- to premium-priced options compared with smaller regional airports, with a good selection of lounges, shops and rental-car desks. Pros include comprehensive connections and modern facilities; cons can be occasional winter-weather delays and a busier security experience during peak travel times.
