ULCC French bee Adds New Direct, YUL-ORY

There’s a new option for Canadian travellers to get to Paris as ULCC French bee begins a direct Montreal (YUL) – Paris Orly (ORY) route beginning April 30.

French bee will operate four weekly direct flights between the two cities, using one of its latest-generation Airbus A350s aircraft. From July 4 to August 31, 2025, a fifth flight will be added to meet increased demand during the summer period. Return fares will start from $449.

“With the opening of this new Montreal destination, French bee continues to expand its international network, increasing its number of long-haul destinations from 6 to 7 in response to high demand for business and leisure travel throughout the year,” said Gregory Jamet, Executive Vice President RMPP at French bee.

“This new route will enable French bee to strengthen its local partnerships and facilitate exchanges between Canada and France. The introduction of the Airbus A350 reflects our commitment to offering an environmentally friendly experience, while meeting travellers’ expectations in terms of comfort and accessibility. We look forward to welcoming Quebec passengers as early as April 30, 2025.”

A subsidiary of The Dubreuil Group, French bee first launched in 2016 as the first French airline specializing in long-haul, competitively priced, flights. Currently the airline has a network in the United States offering routes from Montreal to San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York and Miami. Travellers can personalize their trip and keeps costs down by choosing options such as checked baggage, seats with a view or with more leg room, private cabins, priority boarding, meals or travel kits.

The airline says the new YUL- ORY route is a major asset for Quebec by supporting the local economy, tourism and trade.
