Air Canada is adding nonstop flights from Montréal to Seville, Spain, on the Airbus A321XLR. It will be the only nonstop flight between Seville and North America. If you live near Montreal, or can get there, Seville is now a one flight trip instead of a two flight trip.
What did Air Canada announce?
Air Canada will fly nonstop between Montréal and Seville using the Airbus A321XLR. That is the whole headline, and it is a good one.
No other airline flies nonstop between Seville and anywhere in North America. Until now, getting to Seville from Canada or the US meant flying to another city first and changing planes. The route was reported by Prince of Travel on October 14, 2026. The report we saw does not give a start date or a schedule, so check Air Canada directly before you plan around it.
Why does a nonstop to Seville matter?
It matters because a connection is where trips go wrong. A missed connection, a late bag or a long wait in a terminal can eat a full day of a short trip.
Seville is the kind of city people put off for years because it takes an extra flight. It sits in Andalusia, in the south of Spain, and it is known for its old town, its food and its warm weather. A nonstop removes the main reason to say "next year" one more time.
There is also a Canada angle here that we like. Montreal now has a route that no city in the US has. A flyer in New York or Miami still has to connect to reach Seville. A flyer in Montreal does not. That is a rare win for Canadian flyers, and it is worth saying plainly.
What is the A321XLR, and is it good for a long flight?
The A321XLR is a single aisle jet built to fly much farther than a normal narrow body plane. That long range is what lets an airline open a route like this.
Big twin aisle jets need a lot of passengers to fill them every day. A city the size of Seville may not have that kind of demand from North America. A smaller jet with long range changes the math, so routes that never made sense can now work.
Here is the part people will argue about. It is still a single aisle plane, and you will be on it for a flight across the Atlantic. Some flyers love the bigger cabins on wide body jets and will choose to connect so they can fly on one. That is a fair choice. Our opinion is that for most people, a single nonstop flight beats a bigger plane plus a connection.
Should you use Aeroplan points on this route?
You can, because Aeroplan lets you book Air Canada flights with points. Whether it is a good use depends on the price you see when you search.
Aeroplan prices Air Canada flights based on demand, so the number of points can move a lot from one date to the next. A new route with a single daily option, or fewer, can fill up fast in the busy months. Our advice is simple. If Seville is on your list, search a few dates, compare the points price with the cash fare, and book when the numbers look right to you. If you have no plans for Spain, there is nothing you need to do.
This is also a good route to keep in mind if you have been saving points without a plan. A trip that used to need two flights is now one flight from Montréal, and that makes it a much easier trip to say yes to.
The bottom line
Air Canada's Montréal to Seville nonstop is a real new option, not just a new line on a map. It is the only nonstop between Seville and North America, and it starts in Canada.
