Flights Casablanca -> Montreal (CMN-YUL) — USD Fares, Airlines, Frequency

5 scheduled departures a week link Casablanca (CMN) in Morocco with Montreal (YUL) — one every 1.4 days on average — flown by 1 catalogued carrier at a scheduled block time near 7.5 hours.

Casablanca to Montreal connects Morocco with Canada’s main French-speaking city, with around 5 flights a week. The route carries the large Moroccan community in Quebec visiting family, business travellers, students and connecting passengers. Block time is around seven and a half hours.

Great-circle distance Casablanca–Montreal is about 5,674 km, computed from the stored coordinates of CMN (33.37, -7.59) and YUL (45.47, -73.74). What the figure fixes is the sector profile — 5,674 km against a scheduled 7.5-hour block time — and the fuel-and-crew economics behind the fare floor. It does not fix a compensation amount. Canada’s APPR is the scheme that reaches this corridor, and it bands by arrival-delay length rather than by distance, so the kilometre figure does not decide the amount.

Airlines on this route

1 carrier operates CMN–YUL: Royal Air Maroc (AT), a full-service airline based in Morocco, a member of Oneworld, with a 23 kg checked-baggage baseline in our table. We estimate about 5 weekly departures on the corridor, with a scheduled block time near 7.5 hours.

Royal Air Maroc operates CMN-YUL, flying a full-service widebody direct to Montreal with a checked baggage allowance and meals included. Casablanca is the carrier’s main hub, so the route also feeds connections from across Morocco and West Africa onward to Canada.

Our carrier table records a diaspora / migrant-worker baggage uplift of +23 kg on Royal Air Maroc. Read that as a carrier promotion, not a universal entitlement: uplifts of this kind are normally tied to specific fare families and specific corridors, they are rarely honoured on a codeshare or interline segment issued by another airline, and the cheapest promotional fare buckets are the ones most often excluded. Confirm the allowance against your own booking class before you pack to it.

USD fares — CMN-YUL

$709 was the 2026-W29 reading in our weekly fare log for CMN–YUL, across 6 readings that range $352 to $709.

CMN-YUL fares move with the family and holiday calendar — the summer and the December holidays are the busiest and most expensive. For those dates, booking three to four months ahead is sensible. Outside the peaks, six to ten weeks usually secures a workable economy fare in USD.

Book 3-5 months ahead. Fares climb steeply around the December holidays and the summer, when diaspora travel peaks. That window is general guidance rather than a rule for this single pairing; on a corridor with 5 weekly departures, the practical constraint is often seat availability on the days you can actually travel, not the headline fare.

One thing our fare data cannot tell you: whether the quote includes a checked bag. The cache stores a price and a carrier, not a fare family. On CMN–YUL that matters most where a low-cost carrier or a basic-economy bucket is in the mix, because the cheapest screen number and the cheapest all-in number are then two different itineraries. Compare after adding the bag you will actually carry.

If your CMN–YUL flight is cancelled: which rules apply

CAD 400 to CAD 1,000 is the APPR compensation range on CMN–YUL into Canada, by arrival-delay length on a large carrier, and only where the delay sits inside the airline’s control. Canada’s scheme is duration-based rather than distance-based, unlike EU261, so the kilometre figure on this page decides nothing about the amount.

RegimeWhen it appliesRemedy for a long delay / cancellation
Canada APPRFlights to, from or within Canada.For a large carrier: CAD 400 (3–6 h), CAD 700 (6–9 h) or CAD 1,000 (9 h+) arrival delay within the airline’s control.
Montreal Convention 1999Any international itinerary — baggage and delay losses.Compensation for lost, damaged or delayed baggage (up to 1,519 SDR per passenger) and for provable losses caused by delay (up to 6,303 SDR), limits in force since 28 December 2024.

What does not apply matters as much as what does, because claim-management services will happily open a file either way. On CMN–YUL: EU261 does not reach this corridor at all — neither endpoint is an EU/EEA airport, and carrier nationality alone never triggers it, US DOT rules are irrelevant here, and would only ever cover refunds rather than compensation even if they applied and UK261 does not apply, since no leg touches a UK airport. Filing under a scheme that does not cover your itinerary costs weeks and gets a rejection, so match the regulation to the departure airport and the operating carrier before you start.

What 6 weeks of cached fares show on CMN–YUL

6 weekly readings between 2026-W20 and 2026-W29 put the cached CMN–YUL low between $352 and $709 — a $357 spread, 101% of the cheapest reading. The low landed in 2026-W20; the last reading in this table, 2026-W29, was $709. Each row is one weekly snapshot of the cheapest published quote, not an average of everything sold that week.

The cached low rose 101% between the first and last reading, from $352 to $709. Read it with the sample size in front of you: 6 observations over a ten-week window is a signal about this corridor’s volatility, not a forecast. What it does establish is a defensible floor — you now know $352 was achievable on CMN–YUL inside the window, so a quote well above $709 is worth a second search.

Each row is a single weekly snapshot of the cheapest published quote, taken on one day, not an average of everything sold that week. Two consequences follow. A one-week dip can be a single small fare bucket rather than a trend, and a gap between weeks means we did not sample, not that fares vanished.

Search live fares

5 weekly departures across 1 carrier mean a live CMN–YUL search returns several price points for the same day; our weekly fare log has recorded readings as low as $709 (see the dated history on this page). Scheduled nonstop block time is 7.5 hours, so any result far above that is connecting whatever the screen says.

Search CMN -> YUL on Aviasales ->

A live CMN–YUL search is only comparable once three things are pinned: the cabin and passenger count, so totals are like for like; the elapsed time, which separates a genuine nonstop from a routing that merely costs the same; and the baggage the fare includes. Skip any of the three and you are comparing two different products.

Flexible dates are the highest-leverage setting on this corridor. Our own cache shows month-to-month movement on CMN–YUL that dwarfs the difference between booking gates, so one search across a whole month tells you more than five searches on a single date. Where the dates cannot move — a pilgrimage window, a school term, a contract start — book earlier instead of searching harder.

About Montreal

1 catalogued corridor in this site’s data reach Montreal (YUL), Pierre Elliott Trudeau International, ICAO CYUL, from 1 catalogued origin and 1 carrier in total. That count is this site’s coverage of Montreal, not the airport’s published schedule. Each of those corridors has its own guide with carriers, weekly frequency, scheduled block time and whatever the fare cache holds.

Montreal is the largest city in the Canadian province of Quebec and Canada’s main French-speaking city, home to a large Moroccan community drawn in part by the shared French language. For travellers from Casablanca it is most often a family-visit, study or business destination.

Montreal is a based hub for Air Canada. A hub airport behaves differently from an outstation: connecting banks are built around it, spare aircraft and crew sit there, and a disruption is far more likely to be recovered the same day. It also means the hub carrier usually sets the price on routes into YUL, and competitors price against it rather than the other way round.

What currency is used in Montreal? Montreal uses USD. Fares in this guide are quoted in USD; budget on-the-ground spending in USD.

  • Montreal airport (YUL) — Pierre Elliott Trudeau International, Canada: 0 catalogued departure corridors and 1 arrival corridor.

The corridor links are there to be used as alternatives, not as further reading. If the CMN–YUL fare or schedule does not work, a different African gateway to Montreal is often the better fix — positioning within the continent is cheap relative to the long-haul sector, and the fare gap between two origins to the same destination is regularly wider than the positioning ticket. The catch is that separately issued sectors carry no protection if the first one runs late.

Entry, baggage and compensation rules change. Confirm with the airline or the official source before you travel.
