From Montreal to Amsterdam, Air Canada opens a new summer route

NEWS - 20-03-2023



Because to the high demand for travel to Europe, Air Canada has announced the launch of a new nonstop service from Montreal to Amsterdam this summer.


From June 2 and October 14, Canada's national airline will operate Boeing 787 Dreamliners five times each week between the popular Dutch capital and the nation's second-largest metropolis.


Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday at 10:10 p.m. (local time), the route will depart from Montreal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL) and land at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) at 11 a.m. the following day. Total travel time will be close to six hours and fifty minutes.


Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 2 p.m., with arrival at YUL at 3:30 p.m. that same afternoon.


On the website of Air Canada, tickets can be purchased right away. 


Air Canada already provides year-round nonstop flights to Amsterdam from Toronto Pearson Airport (YYZ) and nonstop flights from Yorktown Airport (YUL), with one layover at either YYZ or Frankfurt Airport (FRA) in Germany. 


We are excited to add new, non-stop service between Montreal and Amsterdam for the summer of 2023 to complement our year-round service between Toronto and the Dutch capital as we continue to see a significant demand for travel to Europe "Mark Galardo, senior vice president of network planning for the airline, commented on the information.


This summer, there will be up to twice as many flights per day between Canada and Amsterdam from two of our international hubs, giving passengers on both sides of the Atlantic a wide range of easy options to travel to and experience one another's nations and beyond. Consumers can start making reservations and planning in advance, "Said Galardo.


Together with Lufthansa, Switzerland, Thai Airways, and United Airlines, Air Canada is a founding member of Star Alliance and currently operates its own Aeroplan loyalty program. 


It's helpful to know that you may now pay-as-you-go access the Star Alliance lounge at AMS, not just if you're a Gold member, if you're going to travel this route.


Notably, KLM provides nonstop service to AMS from Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver International Airport (YVR), and Calgary International Airport (YYC). Members of the Flying Club who collect Virgin Points may find it highly advantageous that the carrier is a member of SkyTeam.
