Mwittstock Posted March 1 #1 Share Posted March 1 We are cruising August 28th to Sept 7th. We have to leave the ship early and wanted to know if anyone has ever taken a flight from Saguenay to Montreal? Or how is the flight from Quebec City to Montreal? Thank you!

You will have to get permission from Princess to leave cruise early. There may not be immigration officers available in all ports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted March 1 #3 Share Posted March 1 There are very few flights from Quebec City to Montreal. Either early morning or mid/late afternoon. Agree with customs and immigrations if getitng off early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare startedwithamouse Posted March 1 #7 Share Posted March 1 In leaving the ship early, did you want to just leave the ship the day prior (not spend the night on the ship in Quebec City)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking about leaving the ship in Saguenay (the port before Quebec City)- they have flights to Montreal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teechur Posted March 4 #9 Share Posted March 4 I wish we were able to sail on to Montreal but appreciate the extra night on the ship at Quebec. (HAL cruises to Montreal. Apparently, Princess ships are too tall to clear a bridge along the way.) We will take the Princess excursion bus from Quebec City that stops in Old Montreal and then delivers us to the Airport. We will spend the night and fly out early the next morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are not a lot of options for Saguenay to Montreal. Here is a screenshot from Air Canada for the day (I believe) you may be interested in. Flying from Quebec to Montreal is pretty much the same thing; more choices and somewhat shorter flight time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have searched for a hotel with a free airport shuttle, but haven't found one. Have you? If you don't mind...:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teechur Posted March 8 #13 Share Posted March 8 (edited) We are staying at the Sheraton Montreal Airport Hotel. I believe they have a shuttle but sometimes things change without notice. My room with senior discount is $277.15 Canadian or $205.30 American. Note: They advertise 24-hour free shuttle in their description. Edited March 8 by Teechur Added a line.

If you don't mind...:-) Assuming we're talking about Montreal airport, if you'd like to avoid even needing to take a shuttle, there is an excellent and hugely convenient Marriott physically attached to the International/Transborder terminal at YUL. The Sheraton is a great hotel and quite close (even walkable in a pinch) but the Marriott can't be beaten for convenience. You don't even go outside when walking to your check-in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's $427 Canadian or $316 American for a similar room. The extra U.S $111 will buy us dinner and drinks.😁 I noticed that all of the Marriott properties near the airport include a free shuttle. https://www.marriott.com/search/findHotels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have misread though. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never done it, but your only choice is Air Canada to YUL. Pascan used to fly to YHB, but I don't see it on the schedule anymore.
