 Pierre Elliot Trudeau Airport
(FC) by rmdw
In 1975 an even larger airport, Mirabel, was opened north of Montreal. It's original intention was to serve international flights whilst Dorval would be strictly a domestic terminal. However, Mirabel was so far away that there was a rebellion of sorts by Montreal passengers. This has turned Mirabel into a proverbial white elephant and it now only serves cargo and charter flights.
So Dorval has regained its prominent status as the airport most Montrealers use.
On September 9, 2003 the airport was officially renamed to "Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport". Leave a Comment

 main terminal and control
tower at Dorval airport by appaloosy
Montreal is a gateway city, and our airport is the hub for all international travel to-and-from our city!!
Pierre Elliot Trudeau International (formerly named DORVAL) Airport is located close to downtown Montreal (only 20mins!), just 18km west from the downtown city core. It is our main airport for handling domestic and international travel.
Taxi fare from downtown Montreal to Dorval International Airport is 25$ (fixed tariff).
Arrivals and passenger pick-ups are on the lower level.
Check-in and departures are located on the upper level.
Getting to and from the airport is highly convoluted and not particularly user friendly! Our roads, highways, traffic (and drivers!!) can be very intimidating. I strongly recommend NOT renting a car - leave the driving to your taxi, L'Aeroport bus, or hotel shuttle driver!

 A Brazilian Hero by PV by RafaelTheSecond
From the airport to the city centre, when the trafic is fine, you take about 25 minutes, lucky I was a little bit closer, I had to go to Rosemont, and it takes 10 minutes!;)
But before that moment I had no idea about what was waiting for me! Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

I know I am brazilian but I strongly recommend you to use AIR CANADA, it is the cheaper way to fly to Brazil to and from Canada.

 Pierre Elliot Trudeau Int'l
Airport - lower level by appaloosy
The arrivals-reception area is on the lower level (ground floor) of the terminal building.
International and U.S. passengers arriving at Pierre Elliot Trudeau Int'l airport must first proceed through customs & immigration security control, then pick up their luggage at the baggage recovery console, before exiting to the public rendez-vous area to meet and greet your hosts.
Taxis, limousines and L'Aéroport shuttles are all located on the lower level also, and operate 24hrs a day. They will all take you to the downtown core (about a 20min ride). If your hotel has a complimentary shuttle, it will be waiting here also.
Airport parking is just across the street via a covered walkway.
There are ATM's and currency exchange booths here also.
The nearest hotel is the Dorval HILTON - only 2 minutes via complimentary hotel shuttle.

 Pierre Elliot Trudea Int'l
Airport - upper level by appaloosy
Passenger drop-offs, check-in and ticketing all take place here on the upper level of the terminal building.
The passenger check-in area is always a very busy, hectic and sometimes confusing place. ARRIVE EARLY, and be prepared for long line-ups!!
The information booth is located on this level, as are numerous shops, restaurants, cafés, currency exchange, travel insurance offices ATM's, and duty free shops.
There are no business or conference facilities here, but there is a VIP "Maple Leaf" lounge (for 1st class or executive-class ticket holders) that is equipped with fax machines and computer terminals.
There is (supposedly) internet access areas (but I have never been able to find them) located at a kiosk in the lounge/sitting area, and another one past the security checkpoint.
Keep in mind, the airport is has been (and still is) undergoing vast restructuring and renovations (as of summer 2004), and some areas/features may be unavailable or difficult to find.
Upstairs there is another lounge area (much quieter), a kids area, and a small multi-ethnic place of worship (chapel) as well.

Like any big city...
But the Train system here sucks. It is both very expensive and slow. Gaz in not very expensive (0.70$ CAN/litter).
The public transportation system here is both cheap and efficient. Very secure and confortable, it covers much of the nice spots of the Island. It is also very easy to use. It will average 2$ CAN for a ticket, but an weekly card with unlimited access is around 13$, and it is good for both bus and Metro. A MUST!!
Montreal is also renown in North America as one of the best city for bicycling (as far as it can be good in a North American City...). Just avoid the biggest streets and respect the signalisation. There is a nice web of dedicated spaces for bike to go around and these will always bring you to a nice place to visit!!!
Unfortunalty, like in many American city, cars are king of the road here, so watch for 'em. This makes it usually easy to get around in one. Parking is something confusing though. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane
