Flights from Montreal to New York
The 522-kilometre hop between Montréal-Trudeau (YUL) and New York LaGuardia (LGA) is one of the busiest short-haul corridors in northeastern North America, with a typical block time just over an hour that makes it a natural choice for business day-trippers. American, Air Canada, Delta, United, and WestJet all compete here, operating predominantly regional jets — think Bombardier CRJ-900s and Embraer E175s — on high-frequency rotations throughout the day. Practically speaking, LGA's Terminal B handles most of these arrivals and has improved significantly since its renovation, but factor in the airport's notorious ground delays and allow at least 90 minutes for any onward connection. On the fare side, midweek departures on Tuesday and Wednesday tend to be softer in price than Friday or Sunday evening banks, and shoulder seasons — late January through February and again in early November — typically offer the most flexibility for budget-conscious travellers.
