Flying Montreal to Paris covers about 3,430 miles, linking Montreal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL) with Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG); a nonstop takes roughly 7h25, with winds moving it either way. The nonstop award space in the data is split between Air France and Air Canada. Aircraft logged on those nonstops include the Boeing 777-300ER, Airbus A330-300, and Airbus A350-900. Only about 6% of the award options in the data are nonstop, so most results connect.
At over seven hours in the air, Montreal–Paris is long enough for the cabin to matter, so pick it before the program. The cheapest economy seat is a partner award on an Air France nonstop, so the lowest price is also the quickest trip. That seat adds about $194 in taxes and fees, well above the route's typical economy taxes, so weigh points and cash together before booking. Stepping up costs about double the economy points for premium economy and about 3.8 times for business.
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club is cheapest in economy at 12,000 points and premium economy at 24,000, both on Air France nonstops. Alaska Atmos Rewards wins business class at 45,000 points. Its first-class fare from 70,000 points connects, which usually means first on one leg only; read every segment. The other eight programs include Air Canada Aeroplan, Air France-KLM Flying Blue, and American AAdvantage.
Nonstop award space on Montreal–Paris spans two alliances: Air France (SkyTeam) and Air Canada (Star Alliance). That means partner programs in both alliances have a way onto a nonstop. Beyond the nonstop, the cheaper connecting awards in the data change planes in London, Amsterdam, and Frankfurt. The business-class floor is a oneworld partner award: Alaska Atmos Rewards prices British Airways seats.
Landing in the Paris area, Orly (ORY) costs far more at 34,700 points in economy against the 12,000-point floor and isn't worth it unless Charles de Gaulle has nothing. For another option from Montreal, Casablanca prices from 22,500 points at last check. Confirm which Paris airport the award uses before transferring points.
