Montreal–Trudeau International (YUL) is the city’s main international gateway, typically serving full-service carriers and many long-haul routes alongside some low-cost options. Located about 20 km (roughly 20–35 minutes by car depending on traffic) west of downtown, it’s usually perceived as mid-range to premium in terms of convenience and services. Ground links include the 747 express bus (about 45–60 minutes, fares often modest), taxis and ride-shares (30–40 minutes, variable fares), and car rentals; a planned light-rail connection is expected to change travel times. Pros: broad international connectivity and comprehensive passenger facilities. Cons: can be busy at peak times and transfer times to the core can feel long. Montréal–Mirabel (YMX) once handled international traffic but now functions mainly for cargo, aerospace activities and some charter or seasonal flights; it is not a primary passenger hub for most travelers. Mirabel sits roughly 55 km northwest of downtown (around 45–75 minutes by car depending on traffic), so it’s often considered less convenient for city access. Ground transport is typically limited to cars, taxis or prearranged shuttles; public transit options can be sparse and travel times longer. Pros: lower congestion and extensive cargo infrastructure. Cons: poor connectivity to the city center and minimal passenger amenities.

Nice Côte d’Azur Airport functions as the principal international gateway for the French Riviera, blending full-service carriers and a strong low-cost presence—Air France, easyJet and several seasonal charters are typically common. Located about 7–10 km southwest of central Nice, transfer times to the city centre usually range from 15–30 minutes by tram or bus and 20–40 minutes by taxi, with public fares generally modest and taxis charging more depending on time of day. Trains connect nearby towns but require a short shuttle; car rentals are widely available. Pros: compact layout and frequent flights to European destinations; cons: can be busy in summer and transfer times may lengthen with traffic or queues.
