Nonstop service is operated by Porter Airlines on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, with a typical flight time of 3 hours 40 minutes. The return leg takes around 3 hours 50 minutes.", "methodology": "Carrier service, flight times and distances for this route come from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We report the days of the week and the departure times each carrier operates. The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC. Outbound and return times are computed by the same method, so the difference between them is directly comparable and reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in derivation. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two specific airports named, so an actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer. Where shown, on-time departure and arrival rates and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; where a typical fare is shown, it comes from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold.", "toolsUsed": [ "flight_schedule" ] }, "q3": { "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Montréal?", "answer": "From Montréal-Trudeau (YUL) to downtown, the most popular option is the STM 747 Express bus, which runs 24/7 and costs $11 CAD for a single fare.
