I know they say YUL is Paris sans jetlag, but you can fly to the actual Paris on the same days for about $180 more. Someone in United's revenue department is smoking something.....
I gave up completely and now fly exclusively on Air Canada flight passes between ORD & YUL. $700ish per RT. More than 3 times what I was paying just two years ago.
