april_4_us Posted July 15, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 15, 2022 So we are coming into Vancouver from Detroit, we have about a 7 hr layover. My mom smokes, are there any bars in the Montreal and or Toronto airports that she can smoke without leaving the building? Also our flight going home we arrive in Toronto at 1:20am. does the hotel attached to the airport do day passes so we don't have to sleep in the airport from 120a to approx 6am? Thanks in advance April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookbabe Posted July 15, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) Per the website, smoking areas are available outside only. They won’t be bars or restaurants, or any other spaces within the airport. There are very few places to smoke indoors in Canada. Good thing you’re traveling in summer. https://www.torontopearson.com/en/whats-happening/stories/designated-smoking-areas Not sure if either hotel offers day passes, you’ll have to contact them directly. https://www.torontopearson.com/en/while-you-are-here/hotels Edited July 15, 2022 by bookbabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be very weary of connecting through Montreal right now-- hundreds of flights being cancelled daily and baggage workers unable to keep up. It has been a total nightmare.

If not, you may want to look at Westjet for the DTW to YVR trip; they work with Delta and the connection through Toronto is pretty seamless.

WESTEAST Posted July 17, 2022 #7 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Having just returned from YUL, agree it is chaotic and best advice is arrive very early! Both AC and WestJet have delays and cancellations and YYZ is the same (or worse) as YUL. Regarding day use hotels, we have used this site: https://ca.dayuse.com. Good luck!

Bruin Steve Posted July 17, 2022 #8 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Why is this on the West Coast ports board? Last I checked, the Toronto and Montreal Airports are a little removed from the Pacific Ocean.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill0021 Posted August 5, 2022 #10 Share Posted August 5, 2022 You may have done the trip already. No smoking anywhere in either airport. Those days are long gone. You would have to go outside which is easy enough to do. You will go through customs when you arrive so you can leave but will have to go back through security but you have lots of time. Montreal is a beautiful city. You do not indicate the time you are arriving? If during daytime, grab a cab/uber to Old Montreal for a few hours. If at night book the airport hotel, a Marriott or hit a lounge, you can pay a one time fee. Toronto, book the hotel at Terminal 3. I am pretty sure it is a Sheraton.

We are actually arriving around 1050 am and we aren't supposed to fly to vancouver until1830. we have plenty of time if the flights are on time and or we dont have a huge delay. Thanks for the information. I can guarantee my mom will be going out to smoke for sure! april Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when Canada and The US went smoke free in their airspace in the early 90's. You could still smoke in Mexican Airspace. We would all look out the window to see when we would cross the Rio Grande River, which is the border between Texas and Mexico then light up. Crazy. Have a great trip! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
