Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Perth, Australia
Here is what to know before booking a flight to Perth from Montreal.
From Montreal, fares to Perth usually run between $2500 and $3100. The best fare spotted recently is $2088 (about 20% below the typical price).
Perth is Western Australia's sunny, easygoing capital, one of the most isolated big cities on earth and all the more relaxed for it. The Swan River threads through the centre past the huge Kings Park, the beaches face straight into Indian Ocean sunsets, and the historic port of Fremantle sits just downriver. Come out to Australia's western edge!
When to go
Seasons are flipped from Canada: summer (December to February) is hot and dry with reliable sun and the famous afternoon sea breeze locals call the Fremantle Doctor. Spring (September to November) is a highlight, with wildflowers across the region and mild, comfortable days. Autumn (March to May) is warm and settled, while winter (June to August) is cool and the wettest stretch, though still mild by Canadian standards.
Getting there from Montreal
Perth is about as far as you can get from eastern Canada, so plan on a very long trip with multiple stops. From Québec City or Montréal you connect through a US West Coast hub such as Los Angeles or San Francisco, then a Pacific gateway like Sydney, and often another Australian city before the final leg west to Perth. You will cross the international date line and lose a calendar day on the way over, so give yourself recovery time on arrival.
What to see and do

Good to know before you go
The currency is the Australian dollar. Getting around is straightforward: Uber, DiDi and Ola all run, the free CAT buses loop the city centre at no cost, and Transperth trains reach Fremantle and the coast quickly. English is the language and tap-to-pay is universal. Rottnest Island is reached by ferry from Perth or Fremantle, and once there you get around on foot or by bike since cars are not allowed.
