The time it will take you to make the trip to a beautiful city like Montreal, Canada, is going to be somewhat different depending on where you depart from in New Zealand and the number of stops you will need to make on flights along the way. From Auckland International (AKL) to Montreal Pierre Elliott Trudeau International (YUL), Montreal, your travel time will be about 27h 30min. If you are departing from Wellington (WLG), you should expect a travel time of about 36h 40min, and when departing from Christchurch (CHC), you should plan on a trip time of around 32h 10min.
While it certainly may seem a bit disappointing that you cannot find a direct flight to Montreal from any city in New Zealand, that does not mean that they are not some great Montreal flight deals available for this route. There is a three-stop flight from Christchurch that has layovers at Auckland International, Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), and Vancouver International (YVR). From Auckland International, you can hop on a two-stop flight that includes layovers at Los Angeles International Airport and Newark International Airport (EWR). If you leave from Wellington, there is a two-stop flight with layovers at Auckland International and Los Angeles International Airport.
Upon your arrival on your flight from New Zealand to the airport in Montreal, you have a couple of options to make the trip to the centre of the beautiful city of Montreal. One choice is to take the express bus, called the 747 Express, from the airport to downtown Montreal in about 20min for a cost of about CAD 5 (NZD 5.60). You could also take one of the many taxis you will find at the airport to town in about 20min for a cost of around CAD 43 (NZD 49). If you prefer to ride in style, why not choose a town car that can make the trip to the city in around 20min for a cost of about CAD 137 (NZD 154).
If you are someone that appreciates amazing works of architecture, then by all means on your visit to Montreal, make the trip to the Notre Dame Basilica of Montreal. The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is a museum that offers a combination of both Canadian artworks as well as exhibits from around the globe. When you make the trip to the top of Mount Royal, you will get to experience some spectacular views of the city and this is a great place to go for a long walk during the afternoon. If you would enjoy seeing a lovely open green space, then you should make the trip to the Montreal Botanical garden.
If you are planning on making the trip to Canada from New Zealand, you will need a valid passport to travel there. While you will not need a visa to travel, you will need a Canadian Electronic Travel Authorization. You could obtain these from the website of the government of Canada for a cost of around 23 CAD (26.50 NZD).
