Air Canada Launches New Montreal–Copenhagen Route

The route announcements from Air Canada seem to be never-ending these days. This time, Air Canada has announced a new route from Montreal to Copenhagen, which will commence next summer.

The new Montreal–Copenhagen route from Air Canada is bookable with Aeroplan points, so let’s take a look at the possibilities.

Air Canada’s New Montreal–Copenhagen Route

Beginning June 1, 2023, Air Canada will fly direct from Montreal to Copenhagen five times weekly.

From Wednesday to Sunday, the flight will operate eastbound from Montreal to Copenhagen. Westbound, the schedule is offset by one day from Thursday through Monday.

The planned schedule is as follows: 

• AC826 Montreal (YUL) to Copenhagen (CPH), departing 5:55pm and arriving 6:45am the next day
• AC827 Copenhagen (CPH) to Montreal (YUL), departing 1:15pm and arriving 3:00pm

This represents Air Canada’s second route serving Denmark’s capital of Copenhagen, with the new Montreal service complementing the five-times weekly service from Toronto.

Air Canada will operate the route with the Boeing 787-8 (788) Dreamliner. This aircraft features its Signature Class cabin, complete with lie-flat pods and direct aisle access from every seat.

Booking Air Canada’s New Montreal–Copenhagen Flight

Aeroplan is the program of choice for booking these flights, given that Aeroplan members have access to every available seat on Air Canada flights.

Flights to Copenhagen from Montreal fall within the first distance band on Aeroplan’s North America–Atlantic zone chart.

Thus, a direct flight at the lower end of the dynamic spectrum would theoretically cost just 60,000 Aeroplan points in business class. 

With just under 400 miles before reaching the next distance band, adding a connection to nearby destinations would keep the price level.

Air Canada has already gone ahead and loaded these flights into their search engine, so we can get a sense of the dynamic pricing at launch.

Unfortunately, in business class, the Montreal–Copenhagen direction appears to have no “saver” availability at the lower level. All bookings are currently pricing at the dynamic level of 192,000 points one-way.

In economy class, prices are still quite expensive at around 63,000 points one-way in Economy (Standard), and around 90,000 points in Economy (Latitude).

There’s a smattering of eUpgrade space available across the board, so those with Aeroplan Elite…
