Airlines flying Delhi to Montreal
Air Canada is the only carrier on the non-stop Delhi → Montreal sector, operating roughly three flights a week with a wide-body (Boeing 777 / 787 Dreamliner). For other days, or for a cheaper fare, the practical choice is a single-stop itinerary: Air France via Paris, British Airways via London, Lufthansa via Frankfurt or Emirates via Dubai all feed onward flights into Montreal. Booking the whole journey on one ticket keeps your baggage checked through and protects the connection. Compare the non-stop's convenience against the often lower 1-stop fares before deciding.
Cheapest time to fly & book
Fares to Montreal peak over the summer (Jun–Aug), around Christmas and during the spring and autumn university-intake windows, when students and visiting-family demand surges. The cheaper stretches are typically late autumn and the winter shoulder (Oct–Nov, parts of Jan–Feb), when Montreal is cold but fares soften. As of May 2026, indicative round-trip economy fares range roughly ₹75,000–1,20,000 depending on routing and season, with 1-stop deals undercutting the non-stop. Book peak dates 2–4 months ahead. Indicative only — check live fares in the FlightGPT chat.
Flight duration & routing
The Air Canada non-stop blocks about 15h 35m over roughly 11,500 km, typically departing Delhi after midnight and reaching Montreal the same morning local time. A 1-stop itinerary via Frankfurt, Paris, London or Dubai usually totals 17 to 20 hours including the layover. Because Montreal is about 9h 30m behind India in summer, you effectively land on the same calendar day you left. Watch connection times on multi-leg fares: a short layover at a big European hub can be tight, while a long one stretches an already lengthy journey.
Baggage & fares
Air Canada long-haul economy generally includes two checked bags of 23 kg on India–Canada routes, more generous than many carriers — useful for students relocating. On 1-stop European or Gulf airlines, allowances are usually 2 x 23 kg in economy too, but confirm on your fare, as the cheapest "light" buckets may include less. If a booking mixes two unaffiliated airlines, the most restrictive rule can apply, so a single through-ticket is cleaner. Vegetarian (VGML) and other special meals can be requested up to 24 hours before departure.
Airports & terminals
Delhi (DEL) — long-haul flights to Canada leave from the international wing of Terminal 3, so reach the airport about three hours ahead. Montreal–Trudeau (YUL) — Canada's third-busiest airport has a single connected passenger terminal about 20 minutes west of downtown Montreal. The fast link into the city is the 747 express bus to the centre and the metro; taxis and ride-hailing are alternatives. If you connect in Europe or Dubai, note those are very large hubs — leave time to clear transfer security and, where relevant, change terminals.
Visa & entry for Indians
Indian passport holders need a Canadian visa arranged before travel — almost always a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), the visitor visa, applied for online through IRCC with biometrics at a VFS centre in India. The visa-exempt eTA does not apply to most Indian passport holders, so do not rely on it. Crucially, Canada has no airside transit without a visa for Indians, so even a connection through a Canadian airport requires a visa. Apply well ahead, as processing can take weeks. Full guidance is in the Visas guide.
Best time to visit
Montreal is loveliest in summer (Jun–Sep), when terraces, festivals such as the Jazz Fest, and the Old Port are in full swing, and in the autumn (late Sep–Oct) for the fall foliage. Winter (Dec–Mar) is genuinely cold with heavy snow, though the Underground City and winter carnivals have their charm — pack accordingly. Spring is short and slushy. For first-timers, late spring through early autumn balances pleasant weather with manageable crowds. For ideas on what to see, browse the destinations guides.
