A strategic location

Québec City is easy to reach by plane, car or train. It is about an hour-and-a-half by plane from New York, Detroit or Toronto. From Montréal, it is less than three hours by car or 50 minutes by plane.

By plane

The Jean-Lesage International Airport is 16 km from the city centre. It is used by more than 700,000 passengers every year travelling to and from North American, South American and European destinations.

Travel is convenient, with direct flights from Paris, Montréal, Ottawa, Toronto, and all major U.S. east-coast cities: Boston, Detroit, New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia.

There are many flights from U.S. cities and from all major Canadian cities, as well as numerous departures every week from many countries with only one connection.

Airport transfers

The Jean-Lesage International Airport is 16 km (10 miles) from the centre of the city. Taxi fare from the airport to the city centre is a flat fee of C$34.25. All downtown hotels are close to each other, finding an ISMAR colleague on your flight to share the ride is a good idea! Major credit cards are accepted.
