If you fancy some domestic travel this spring or summer, Flair is introducing a nonstop flight from Vancouver to Montréal at a great price.
Flair has launched its nonstop service from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) to Montréal–Trudeau International Airport(YUL), and the starting fare is just $159, much lower than competing airlines.
Flair says the move expands its domestic network and strengthens connectivity between two of Canada’s key markets.
Flair CEO Len Corrado says that the route makes connections easier and is an important step in Flair’s growth in the province of Quebec.
“It’s just the beginning of how we’re building a stronger, more connected network across the country,” Corrado said.
“Fares are subject to government approval and may change. YUL to YVR runs daily except Wednesday until late June, and YVR to YUL [runs] daily except Tuesday until late June,” Flair’s announcement states.
A quick Google search of ‘Vancouver to Montréal flights’ shows just how much cheaper the Flair rates are.
This year has been full of flight announcements departing from Vancouver, including a new route from Vancouver to Fiji, and a new, beautiful Vancouver-based tour recently announced by Seair Seaplanes.
There has also been some speculation about a direct flight from Vancouver to Tijuana in Mexico.
The new nonstop flight to Montréal comes at an interesting time in Vancouver, as it will be running during the course of the FIFA World Cup, making it the perfect way to escape the city if you need to take a break from the soccer festivities.
Montréal is not hosting any matches for the FIFA World Cup, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of things to do. In fact, there’s plenty to do in Montréal that you can’t do in Vancouver.
