What ORY to YUL looks like
The ORY to YUL sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Paris ORY to Montreal YUL is a long haul sector of 5,525 km by great circle, flown nonstop 5 times a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 5,525 km, 880 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 7h 09m.
Paris ORY is a major hub in the network held here, 157 scheduled destinations and 361.7 departures a day. Montreal YUL has 157 destinations and 317.8 departures a day.
Montreal is 6 hours behind of Paris 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.

| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| ORY to YUL | 0.71 | 5 | French Bee |
| YUL to ORY | 0.71 | 5 | French Bee |

Between them the two directions put about 9.9 departures a week on ORY to YUL, 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 09m block time on ORY to YUL. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to ORY | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At ORY before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| ORY to YUL in the air, estimated | 429 min | 11h 39m |
| Formalities at YUL | 90 min | 13h 09m |
| Delivery run in Montreal | 45 min | 13h 54m |
| Door to door | 834 min | 13h 54m |
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 ORY to YUL is 13h 54m.
A courier who leaves Paris at 09:00 local is on the ground in Montreal at about 10:09 local and at the door by 12:24 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Montreal, the last useful departure from Paris is around 14:36 local.
At 13h 54m 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. 37 of them join ORY to YUL.
| Connecting at | ORY to hub, flights a day | Hub to YUL, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dublin DUB | 0.71 | 0.57 | 5,567 | 9h 10m |
| London LHR | 1.14 | 3.14 | 5,580 | 9h 19m |
| Reykjavik KEF | 0.57 | 1 | 5,989 | 9h 22m |
| Toulouse TLS | 9.71 | 1.14 | 6,300 | 9h 45m |
| Geneva GVA | 0.86 | 1.14 | 6,300 | 9h 57m |
| Porto OPO | 12.29 | 1.43 | 6,335 | 9h 58m |
37 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Dublin DUB, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 4 times a week.
Through DUB the routing covers 5,567 km against the 5,525 km nonstop track and takes about 9h 10m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 75 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 2h 01m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, London LHR at 9h 19m and Reykjavik KEF at 9h 22m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Paris, Paris CDG is 35 km away by great circle and carries 277 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
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.
Restricted hours at either end
Widely documented operating restrictions, checked 2026-09-07. Exemptions and seasonal variations exist, so confirm with the carrier before relying on any of them.
Paris ORY is shut to scheduled movements between 23:30 and 06:00 local, so a collection in Paris that runs late does not simply catch a later flight, it waits for the morning and loses a working day in Montreal.
Paris ORY, night restrictions: Closed to scheduled traffic between 23:30 and 06:00 local.

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 ORY to YUL 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.
