We had to go through Montreal as our flight to Boston was cancelled. It was like going back in time. Leave lots of time to go through security.

You will need to show your boarding pass to enter the International departure area. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some carriers also include similar information on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much time should we allow ? At least 90 minutes so you don’t have to panic. It’s a busy airport. It depends on the arrival gate of your aircraft from Toronto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fouremco Posted November 23, 2023 #7 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Once upon a time, airlines wouldn't sell you a connecting flight if there was insufficient time to make the transfer, assuming that both flights were on the same airline. Is this still the case, or do airlines now leave it to the passengers to make sure they've got time to make the connection? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Shelaghs Posted November 23, 2023 Author #8 Share Posted November 23, 2023 LOL... that was my thought. A ticket is a ticket... passengers be damned! These old legs don't move as fast as they used to! Would rather sit in a lounge or gate and stiffen up, than running. Is there more than one terminal in Montreal? Didn't see any info re this. Also factoring in a March blizzard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also factoring in a March blizzard. Montreal (YUL) is a single terminal with three 'jetties' - Domestic, International and Trans-Border (US flights). There can be a bit of walking depending on your connections but nothing too difficult and you certainly don't have to take shuttles or trains. As for factoring in a Marxh snowstorm, good luck with that. If it's bad enough, there is a good chance you will not have to worry about a connection in YUL as you may not actually get there. On the plus side, if you can land in YUL, there is an excellent chance you'll be able to depart as they are very good/experienced at managing snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back on January 4, 1999, 38cm fell on Toronto. On January 12th, another 21cm fell. The following day, Mel Lastman held a press conference and called for help from the Army to dig the city out. In 2004, while still living in Halifax, we were hit with White Juan and saw 96cm fall in under 24 hours! No calls for help, and the city simply went about clearing the snow away, just as other Canadian cities would do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
