The fine folks at YUL Deals are highlighting the deal where Copa Airlines has dropped the price of its flights from Montreal to Quito for select dates in late August, September, and October.
The flights all have one stop each way in Panama, but considering Google Flights currently prices YUL to UIO at upwards of $1,400 (some with two stops), it’s a pretty nifty deal.

Copa says fully vaccinated travellers (two or three doses) do not require a negative COVID-19 test result to enter Ecuador. Unvaccinated folks are required to show a negative PCR test result within 72 hours of arrival.
Quito is the capital of Ecuador and sits high in the gorgeous Andean foothills at an altitude of 2,850 metres. The city is constructed on the grounds of an ancient Incan city and is known for preserving its rich colonial center, 16th-century churches, and European, Moorish, and Indigenous styles.
