Quebec Short hop - discount airlines?
Posted: Tue April 24, 2007 05:03 PM UTC
I'd like to visit Quebec this summer using my frequent flyer miles. AA has limited us to flying into Montreal. Is there a discount airline that provides service between the 2, like Ryanair or Easyjet? Any suggestions?

Thanks,
jenn

WestJet and Air Canada fly the route and it might run $250-300 each. If there are 2 or more I highly reccomend the drive along the St Lawrence or even the train.

Hi Griff - We are hoping to make a return visit to Montreal and to take the train to Quebec City this time.. Have noted the discount airlines mentioned in your last reply. We would appreciate any tips on best web sites for Canadian Rail Travel etc. Many thanks.

I would suggest taking the train. It's a 3-hour ride and cost only $50 one way if you book early.

I took the bus, I think it was US$73 round trip. Nice busses, nice stations..etc. 3 hours it took I think? A plane will take longer with all the waiting around and getting there early, and the bus station is right downtown in both cities. In Quebec, you want the 2nd stop, not the first one on the outskirts of QC.
