Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Saint Kitts, St. Kitts & Nevis
Here is what to know before booking a flight to Saint Kitts from Montreal.
From Montreal, fares to Saint Kitts usually run between $510 and $1100. The best fare spotted recently is $664.
Saint Kitts pairs green volcanic peaks with quiet dark-sand and gold-sand beaches, all wrapped around the small, colourful capital of Basseterre. It is one of the less crowded corners of the Caribbean, where old sugar estates and a UNESCO fortress sit above the sea. Ride the old sugar-cane railway around the coast and see for yourself!
When to go
The dry season from December to April brings warm, steady weather and the busiest, priciest weeks. May to November is greener and cheaper but falls within the Atlantic hurricane season, so watch the forecast. Temperatures stay warm all year, usually in the high 20s Celsius.
Getting there from Montreal
There are no nonstop flights from Québec City or Montréal, so you will connect through a US hub such as Miami, Charlotte or New York, or through a Caribbean hub like San Juan. Flying via the United States means clearing US customs on the way, and some Canadian airports offer US preclearance before you board. Give yourself a comfortable connection, since schedules to smaller islands can be tight.
What to see and do
- Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site
- St. Kitts Scenic Railway along the old sugar-cane line
- Frigate Bay and its twin Atlantic and Caribbean beaches
- Romney Manor gardens and Caribelle Batik
Good to know before you go
The currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar, though US dollars are widely accepted; carry some cash for smaller spots. Get around by registered taxis, which use fixed government rates you should confirm before you set off, or by local minibuses for a cheaper ride; there is no major ride-hailing app on the island, so do not count on Uber. English is the official language, driving is on the left, and tipping around 10 to 15 percent is normal.
