You board at Montreal Central Station (Gare Centrale) and step off at New York Penn Station. Haqqi Tours checks the seats for your dates and tells you the cost before anything is booked.

- Journey time: about 11 hours 5 minutes

The daily Adirondack follows Lake Champlain and the Hudson River south to Manhattan; passengers need a passport and valid US entry documents, and border checks are made on board or at the border, so allow extra time.
Departure: Montreal Central Station (Gare Centrale)
Your journey starts at Montreal Central Station (Gare Centrale). Platforms on long-distance routes are announced shortly before departure, so watch the boards; larger stations have separate halls for high-speed and regional trains, and we tell you which one applies to your ticket. Public buses, including an express line, and shared shuttles link the airport with downtown in roughly 45 to 60 minutes, which suits a light traveller staying near a metro station; a private car is simpler with luggage, children, a late arrival or a stay in the Plateau, Laval or the Laurentians.
- Arrive 20-30 minutes early; the platform is shown on the boards shortly before departure
- Keep the e-ticket on your phone and the ID used for booking together - some operators check both
- Luggage travels with you: racks at the coach ends and above the seats, no weighing, no fees
- Cafés, kiosks and left-luggage are available at Montreal Central Station (Gare Centrale) for early arrivals
Arrival: New York Penn Station
The train arrives at New York Penn Station - New York City is served by three airports: John F. Kennedy (JFK) in Queens about 25 km from Midtown Manhattan, LaGuardia (LGA) about 15 km away, and Newark (EWR) across the Hudson in New Jersey about 25 km from Midtown, with the bridges, tunnels and expressways between them among the busiest roads in America. From the platform you are minutes from taxis, metro, tram or bus and the city itself. Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from New York Penn Station to your accommodation in New York with a driver waiting at the platform exit, which for a family with bags is the easiest way to finish the Montreal to New York journey.
Many travellers continue from New York to somewhere else the next day. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.
Classes and what it is like on board the Montreal to New York train
What is the train from Montreal to New York like inside? Modern coaches with reserved seats, tables for two or four, racks for suitcases, sockets and generally Wi-Fi of varying quality. In Coach and Business the differences are space and quiet more than anything else. Over about 11 hours 5 minutes the extra comfort of the higher class is worth it for some passengers and not for others; we tell you the cost of both and let you choose.
- Reserved seats with tables, power sockets and luggage racks
- Toilets in every coach; a café or bar coach on most long-distance services
- Wi-Fi on many trains on this route - useful for work, not reliable for streaming
- Quiet coaches and family areas on selected services - ask us when booking
Children, luggage and groups on the Montreal to New York train
Travelling with children on the train from Montreal to New York is easy: young children are often free or heavily discounted, seats can be booked together, and there is room to move about. Tell us the ages on the form and we apply the right fares. Luggage is not weighed or charged on this route; you bring what you can lift onto the rack. For groups, we book seats in the same coach and ask about group fares, which typically make the Montreal to New York train the cheapest way to move several people between the two cities.
Things to do in New York after the train
New York City is served by three airports: John F. Kennedy (JFK) in Queens about 25 km from Midtown Manhattan, LaGuardia (LGA) about 15 km away, and Newark (EWR) across the Hudson in New Jersey about 25 km from Midtown, with the bridges, tunnels and expressways between them among the busiest roads in America. Arriving by train puts you in the middle of it: Central Park, the Empire State Building and Top of the Rock, Times Square, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Bridge are all reachable from New York Penn Station by local transport or a few minutes by taxi. For the first meal, try a bagel with lox for breakfast, a New York slice of pizza and pastrami on rye at a deli.
If you want the day in New York organised - a driver, a guide, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it on WhatsApp.
Best time to take the train from Montreal to New York
Spring and autumn are the pleasant seasons, summer is hot and humid, and winter cold with occasional snow; the Van Wyck Expressway from JFK and the tunnels into Manhattan are slowest on weekday evenings. For the train itself, spring and autumn bring the best mix of availability and fares; summer and holiday periods sell out earliest, so book the Montreal to New York train as soon as your dates are fixed. Winter services run normally, with occasional weather delays on mountainous or coastal stretches.
Train, plane or bus from Montreal to New York?
Weighing a flight against the train from Montreal to New York? Add the time to the airport, check-in, security and the trip in from the arrival airport, and the train is usually as fast door to door and far less tiring - about 11 hours 5 minutes on board. The bus is the budget option, worth it for some travellers, slower for all. We book whichever suits you; on this route the train is our first recommendation.
Return train from New York to Montreal
The New York to Montreal train is the same service in reverse, about 11 hours 5 minutes, direct. Haqqi Tours offers the return ticket in the same conversation; if you are not yet sure of the return date, we book the outbound now and the return when you know, with no penalty for deciding later.
How much does the train from Montreal to New York cost?
"How much is the train ticket from Montreal to New York?" is the first question we get, and the honest answer is that it depends on when you travel and when you book. Fares open months ahead at their lowest level and rise as seats sell; peak days, holidays and the first and last departures of the day sit higher; first class and flexible tickets cost more than a fixed second-class seat. Haqqi Tours arranges the current cost for your date quickly of receiving the form - no estimates, the actual fare.
What we do include in the price we send: the ticket itself in the class you chose, the seat reservation where the operator requires one, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the e-ticket and answering questions before and during the journey. There are no hidden extras added at the end.
Cheapest train ticket from Montreal to New York: how to pay less
A cheap train ticket from Montreal to New York is not luck - it is booking the right seat on the right departure. Here is how we find it:
- Book both directions together - a return or two singles, whichever comes out cheaper on your dates
- Choose a fixed-departure ticket if your plans are certain; flexible tickets cost more
- For families and groups, ask about group fares - four or more passengers often unlock a lower rate
- Book early - fares on this route open weeks or months ahead and the lowest tiers sell first
- Travel mid-week and mid-day - Tuesday to Thursday departures after the morning rush are normally the cheapest
- Avoid the first and last trains of the day, which carry commuters and business travellers at higher fares
Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest train from Montreal to New York that day, and how much you would save by moving to the next one.

Timetable of the Montreal to New York train
Departures on the Montreal to New York line are spread across the day (daily), all operated by Amtrak Adirondack. Allow about 11 hours 5 minutes on board, and remember that as a direct train there is no connection to miss. Let us know on the form whether you prefer morning, midday or evening and we send the exact times for your travel date.
Our advice for the timetable: choose the departure that fits your day in New York, not the cheapest one blindly - though we tell you both. A train that arrives at New York Penn Station in the early afternoon gives you the evening in New York; a late one lands you after dinner.

Yes. The train from Montreal to New York is direct: you board at Montreal Central Station (Gare Centrale) and step off at New York Penn Station without changing. A direct train also means there is nothing to miss if the departure runs a few minutes late.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
What is the difference between the classes?
Mostly comfort and quiet. The higher class gives wider seats, more legroom and fewer passengers, sometimes a drink or at-seat service; the standard class is perfectly comfortable for the 11 hours 5 minutes journey. We send the cost of each so you can compare.
How early should I be at Montreal Central Station (Gare Centrale)?
Twenty to thirty minutes is enough for a domestic or European departure; a bit more if the station has a ticket gate or security check, which we tell you about. Doors close a minute or two before the timetabled time.
Can I bring a pet?
Small pets are accepted on many trains on this route with a pet ticket; larger dogs have their own rules. Let us know and we confirm what applies to your departure.
Is there a direct train from Montreal to New York?
There is, and it is the service we book first: Amtrak Adirondack runs the Montreal to New York train without a change, daily, so one ticket and one seat cover the whole journey.
Can I book a return train ticket from New York to Montreal?
Of course. Tick "return" on the form and give the date you come back; a return fare and two singles are compared and the cheaper one booked. An open return date can be added later through the same chat.
What happens if I miss the train?
It depends on the fare: fixed-departure tickets are valid only for that train, flexible ones can be used on the next. We explain the rules of your ticket before any payment and help on WhatsApp if something goes wrong on the day.
Can Haqqi Tours arrange a transfer to and from the stations?
Of course. We provide private transfers from your accommodation to Montreal Central Station (Gare Centrale) and from New York Penn Station to your hotel, with room for the bags, on the same confirmation as the ticket.
What if my train is delayed?
Delays are rare on this route but happen. If you have a transfer booked with us the driver tracks the train; if you have a connection we chose a safe margin; and our WhatsApp desk is available during the journey.
How do I book train tickets from Montreal to New York?
Fill out the form above with your date, one-way or return, the number of adults and children and the class. Haqqi Tours messages you by WhatsApp with the departures, seats and cost; you confirm, we book and send the e-ticket.
Do children need a ticket on the Montreal to New York train?
Children have their own fare bands set by Amtrak Adirondack: the youngest usually travel free, older children at a reduced fare. Give the ages on the form and we apply the right fares and seat them next to you.
Can I change or cancel my train ticket?
That depends on the fare you chose: flexible tickets can be changed or refunded, the cheapest promotional fares typically cannot. We spell out the conditions before you confirm and handle any later change for you in the same chat.
Can I book the Montreal to New York train for a group?
Yes. Give the number of passengers on the form; we reserve seats together and ask the railway for a group fare where one exists, which frequently makes the train the cheapest way to move a group.
How much does the train from Montreal to New York cost?
It varies with the day and the time of the train, the class and how far ahead you book. We do not print prices because they change daily; send the form and we reply with the real cost of the Montreal to New York train ticket for your travel date.

From Montreal Central Station (Gare Centrale). We send the platform and coach details with the ticket when the railway publishes them, and can provide a transfer from your accommodation to the station.
