What YUL to TLS looks like
The YUL to TLS sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Montreal YUL to Toulouse TLS is a long haul sector of 5,728 km by great circle, flown nonstop about once a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 5,728 km, 880 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 7h 24m.
Montreal YUL is a major hub in the network held here, 157 scheduled destinations and 317.8 departures a day. Toulouse TLS has 90 destinations and 100.6 departures a day.
Montreal carries about 3.2 times the departures of Toulouse, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Toulouse is 6 hours ahead of Montreal all year.
The pair sits between the Americas and Europe, a corridor where the site already publishes 36 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on YUL to TLS from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| YUL to TLS | 1.57 | 11 | Air Canada, Air Transat |
| TLS to YUL | 1.14 | 8 | Air Transat, Air Canada |
Two carriers hold the sector, Air Canada and Air Transat, which gives a missed departure somewhere to go without leaving the nonstop.
The two directions are not level: YUL to TLS runs about once a day, the return runs about once a day, and a round trip has to be planned around the thinner of the two.
Between them the two directions put about 19 departures a week on YUL to TLS, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 7h 24m block time on YUL to TLS. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to YUL | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At YUL before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| YUL to TLS in the air, estimated | 444 min | 11h 54m |
| Formalities at TLS | 90 min | 13h 24m |
| Delivery run in Toulouse | 45 min | 14h 09m |
| Door to door | 849 min | 14h 09m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for YUL to TLS is 14h 09m.
A courier who leaves Montreal at 09:00 local is on the ground in Toulouse at about 22:24 local and at the door by 00:39 the following day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Toulouse, nothing leaving Montreal inside a normal working day arrives in time, so this pair is an overnight and a next morning delivery rather than a same day one.
At 14h 09m the mission uses most of a sixteen hour duty day, which leaves no room for a delay before a rest at the far end becomes the honest answer.
When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 32 of them join YUL to TLS.
| Connecting at | YUL to hub, flights a day | Hub to TLS, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nantes NTE | 1.43 | 2 | 5,793 | 9h 06m |
| Porto OPO | 1.14 | 1 | 6,000 | 9h 32m |
| Dublin DUB | 0.71 | 1.14 | 5,994 | 9h 34m |
| Paris ORY | 0.71 | 9.71 | 6,097 | 9h 45m |
| Lisbon LIS | 2.86 | 2.86 | 6,264 | 9h 52m |
| Lyon LYS | 1.43 | 5.29 | 6,242 | 9h 52m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at YUL in the afternoon actually flies on.
32 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Nantes NTE, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through NTE the routing covers 5,793 km against the 5,728 km nonstop track and takes about 9h 06m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 42m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Porto OPO at 9h 32m and Dublin DUB at 9h 34m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Montreal, Ottawa YOW is 151 km away by great circle and carries 45 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Toulouse, Bordeaux BOD is 213 km away by great circle and carries 84 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for YUL to TLS in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
