A Private charter to Montreal provides a healthy dose of Old World charm without having to cross the ocean. Cobblestone lanes, centuries-old stone facades and the undercurrent of the French language and culture throughout the city gives Montreal has a distinct European flair. At the same time, Montreal’s contemporary architecture, globally inspired cuisine and trailblazing music scene distinguishes it as a sophisticated New World city.

The city’s host of festivals is among the many reasons to charter a jet to Montreal. The Quartier des Spectacles near downtown is a zone dedicated to hosting festivals and entertainment throughout the year. Of the nearly 100 multi-day events that Montreal holds each year, the most celebrated is the Montreal International Jazz Fest. Founded in 1978, it is now the largest jazz festival in the world.

If you’re more of a foodie than a festival-goer, Montreal has plenty to entice you, including an impressive lineup of markets featuring local produce and products. The city’s most famous market is Marché Jean-Talon, but make sure to check out others, such as Marché Atwater or Marché Maisonneuve, which offer glimpses into the varied neighborhoods of the city. Before your private flight departs Montreal be sure to sample the city’s three local specialties: poutine, a smoked meat sandwich and a Montreal-style bagel.

Three airports are available for private charters to Montreal, the most popular being Montreal-Pierre Elliot Trudeau International (CYUL). Serving international travelers, Montreal-Trudeau is located 20 km/12 miles from downtown Montreal on the Island of Montreal. Northeast of Montreal-Trudeau and across the St. Lawrence River, charter flights can also use Montreal Saint-Hubert Longueuil Airport. Just 16 km/10 miles east of downtown Montreal, Montréal/Saint-Hubert has customs clearance for international flights. Montréal–Mirabel International Airport, the city’s third airport, once the city’s main airport, no longer operates commercial flights and lies 57 km/35 miles northwest of the city center.

Montreal is famous for its harsh winters so take this into consideration when scheduling your private charter. However, to combat the cold during the winter months Montreal’s Underground City offers a 20-mile multi-level network of shops, restaurants, hotels, businesses and concert halls providing everything you require while sheltering you from the sub-zero temperatures. Summers are warm and sunny and the highpoint of the festival season, but tend to be crowded. For the most moderate temperatures and crowds, spring and fall are ideal times to visit.
