The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.", "toolsUsed": [ "flight_schedule" ] }, "q1": { "question": "Are there any direct flights from Newark to Montréal?", "answer": "Yes, Air Canada, United, and Porter Airlines all fly nonstop from Newark (EWR) to Montréal (YUL).

Ride‑share via Uber or Lyft is available with designated pickup areas, and car rental counters are in the terminal.
