What PHX to YUL looks like
The PHX to YUL sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Phoenix PHX to Montreal YUL is a long haul sector of 3,507 km by great circle, flown nonstop 4 times a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 3,507 km, 880 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 4h 43m.
Phoenix PHX is a major hub in the network held here, 172 scheduled destinations and 603.4 departures a day. Montreal YUL has 157 destinations and 317.8 departures a day.
Montreal runs 2 hours ahead of Phoenix in January and 3 hours ahead in July, because the two ends do not change their clocks together.
The pair sits inside the Americas, a corridor where the site already publishes 13 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.

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 PHX to YUL.
| Connecting at | PHX to hub, flights a day | Hub to YUL, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toronto YYZ | 2 | 25.57 | 3,520 | 6h 38m |
| Detroit DTW | 6.14 | 4.43 | 3,535 | 6h 46m |
| Minneapolis MSP | 9.43 | 2.29 | 3,577 | 6h 49m |
| St Louis STL | 6.29 | 1 | 3,585 | 6h 49m |
| Columbus CMH | 2.43 | 1.43 | 3,646 | 6h 55m |
| Chicago ORD | 17.86 | 10.71 | 3,514 | 6h 59m |
37 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Toronto YYZ, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about twice a day.
Through YYZ the routing covers 3,520 km against the 3,507 km nonstop track and takes about 6h 38m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 75 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 55m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Detroit DTW at 6h 46m and Minneapolis MSP at 6h 49m 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.

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 PHX 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.
