I purchased in April for both early July and mid August and $200 fares were for mid-morning on a Monday to YUL and Thursday/Friday afternoon return. If you buy the trip as one ways you can probably save $20 in taxes. All prices USD.
I’m looking at NYC-YUL market and not YTO. I don’t look at PD as the connection Toronto makes it comparable to driving to YUL time wise door to door.
Last year was generally more competitive (flew AA and DL). This year the cheapest have been UA/AC. AA pretty much have not been competing on price at all.
$200 round trip fare is there but definitely not as many seats available and thus monitoring it closely is essential.
