Editorial snapshot
Montreal rewards travellers who book 6-10 weeks ahead, particularly for summer festival season and the December holidays, when fares from US cities can jump 40% or more. Budget travellers find it easier to stomach than Toronto; culture-seekers get more per dollar than almost any comparable North American city. The bilingual city suits curious, food-driven travellers who want Europe's atmosphere without the transatlantic airfare.
Score based on Laters booking data and editorial review, 2026
January and February offer the cheapest fares to Montreal — demand dips sharply after the holiday rush, and winter festivals like Montréal en lumière give budget travellers a genuine reason to go. Avoid booking July or December without at least 8 weeks' lead time; Just For Laughs and the holiday season push fares to their annual highs.
