Internal flights in Canada
Dave Day
games. I can get a cheap ticket from london to Montreal, but the internal
flight from Montreal to Quebec is almost the same price. Can you suggest
somewhere to look for cheap flights between Montreal (YUL) and Quebec. Also,
do you know of anywhere cheap to stay? My fire brigade won't help me with
the cost's involved so I have to pay for everything myself.
Thanks,
Dave Day

I suggest you make contact with some firefighters or police in
Montreal who may be able to give you a ride to Quebec City if they are
going there too.
Or check out bus schedules. The cities are only 150 miles apart -
people here usually drive that distance, not fly.

Dave;
The train is the best bet, but I may be able to help you get to Quebec
direct - for example how would this work, for only $768 US, including taxes;

Arrives Paris, France (CDG) 10:10a
Layover in Paris 4 hrs 0 min
Air Transat Flight TS713 on an Airbus A310 (jet) in coach class
(dinner)
Departs Paris, France (CDG) Mon, June 6 2:10p 7 hrs 15 min

Note: You must change terminals in Paris (CDG).
Quebec, Canada to London, United Kingdom: 3504 miles 12 hrs 15 min
Air Transat Flight TS712 on an Airbus A310 (jet) in coach class
(breakfast)
Departs Quebec, Canada (YQB) Sun, June 12 11:25p 6 hrs 15 min

Unless you have a particular reason to want to travel via Montreal,
you might consider going via another city. For example, Jetsgo
and Air Canada both have Toronto-Quebec flights starting at $59
one way. After including taxes, surcharges and other fees, that
comes to $200.32 return. It might seem a little perverse to
go from London to Quebec via Toronto, but it might work out to
be cheaper.

<URL:http://www.aircanada.ca/e-home.html>
If you do want to go via Montreal and don't have an unlimited
budget, then you're probably better to go between Montreal and
Quebec on the ground. There used to be bus service directly
from Montreal airport to Quebec, but I can't find anything about
it on the web, so it may no longer be running. If not, you'll
need to take a shuttle bus from the airport to downtown Montreal,
then take a train or bus to Quebec.
The shuttle schedues are at <URL:http://tinyurl.com/ry7h>.
They stop at both the railway station and the intercity bus
station.
For Montreal-Quebec train information, see
<URL:http://www.viarail.ca/en_index.html>.
For bus information, see
<URL:http://www.orleansexpress.com/english/index.asp>.
The train is more comfortable, but there are only four trains
a day, while the buses run hourly, giving you more flexibility.
The bus is $67.86 return, while the train is $87.42 (with
advance purchase discount -- book ahead via the web).

Canadian. Tango and Zip are Air Canada.
You could check http://www.canadaairlinetickets.ca/Other_Airlines.html
to see if any discount airlines fly that route. Some are Westjet,
Jetsgo, Canjet etc. but not sure which fly Montreal-Quebec. It's a
commuter run so not really a discounted route.
It's close so ussualy better to take train (Via) or bus(Orleans
Express)about $40 C one-way.

Sorry your brigade won't help with your costs!
What's the price of your ticket from London to Montreal? The fact that you
say this flight is almost the same surprises me seeing as the cost of a
return ticket from Montreal to QC equates to about 133 pounds.
I'm hoping to head across the pond next year, so if you can direct me to
where I can purchase a ticket to the UK for this amount of money, I would
definitely appreciate it as in the past, my flights over have equated to
about 490 pounds.

It only a couple of hours drive on an expressway between the two
cities. Easy drive. Of course Canada follows the keep right majority
so that might be an issue for you. And all of the road signage is in
French. You should be able to rent a car for a week including
gasoline for less than $200 C.
Both inter-city bus (Greyhound of Canada and others) and rail (VIA)
ply this route with great regularity, at a far lower cost than air.
Try via.com and greyhound.ca .
Quebec City, while not served from London, is served from Paris.
Consider London to Paris to Quebec as an air route. Also consider,
if your US paperwork is OK, London to Boston to Quebec. Toronto has
better, and very cheep flights to Quebec, although you will spend more
time in the air.
As to places to stay, Quebec is a big city, all of the major North
American chains are represented and you will want to be close to your
event.

Well, not a big city the way Montreal is. More the size of Portsmouth,
say, than London or Birmingham. But big enough that the thrust of S.P.'s
remarks is correct.

Is there a reason that you are looking for a flight to Montreal and then
to Quebec? charter or some such? If so you might want to look again at
the majors as they often get much more competitve if you are not flying
into the one or two places that charters go.
As others suggested there are several routings to Quebec.

High Canadian sales tax, security, airport and other fees.

I don't think you tried the above URLs before posting. The
former gives you "Via Systems - Professional Terminal Emulation
Software". For information on passenger trains between Montreal
and Quebec, you want <URL:http://www.viarail.ca/en_index.html>.
I wouldn't call four trains a day "great regularity", but it
is a good way to travel if the trains' schedule meshes with yours.
The second URL above doesn't work unless prefixed with www. That
will get you to the Greyhound of Canada website, but it will tell
you that Greyhound doesn't run between Montreal and Quebec. For
buses on this route, you want
