    Dorval Airport opened on September 1, 1941 with 3 paved runways. In late 1960 a new $30 Million terminal was opened. At the time it was the largest airport terminal in Canada and one of the largest in the world. 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".

    Montreal's Dorval International Airport has a new name: Pierre Elliot Trudeau International - effective January 1st, 2004. 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! Dorval (Montreal) International Airport Website: http://www.admtl.com/

    ARRIVALS/RECEPTION AREA : GROUND FLOOR 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. View Airport Plans: ground floor (lower level) - arrivals/reception

    DEPARTURES/DROP-OFF AREA: UPPER LEVEL (1st FLOOR) 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. View Airport Plans: 1st floor - departures

    This picture registers the exactly day when I set foot in Montreal, January 18 2005. it was a very cold morning, Montreal welcome with its generous -20 celcius, immediately my great friend Pierre tried to dress myself properly. 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!

    They are very kind, I mean, the crew...The seats are very tight, a tall person will suffer for sure if they fly economic class. but they serve all over the country and they are better than my own VARIG AIRLINE! 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. February 18th, 2005 it was hard to say good bye to my canadian home: MONTREAL!

    Montreal has two important airports. Dorval (22 km west of the city) and Mirabel (54 km northwest of the city) have direct flights to more than 100 destinations all around the world.

    my means of transport were of course a plane... arriving from Europe... and the Grey Hound bus service from Montréal to Toronto and then back to Montréal... probably now I would also check for an internal flight for this too but is there any comparison with saying you also tried the best known bus company of Canada and the States?.. the one you can even see in movies... lol... :-P...

    A little aerial view of the top of the Mont-Royal looking East toward the Olympic stadium, for your enjoyment. There is a belvedère facing East on the way down from Mont-Royal toward Avenue du Parc (you can get to it unlawfully and with a funny U-turn on the way up from corner Mont-Royal and Av du Parc). Here is the Plateau with its beautiful old house area, St-Denis, St-Urbain, St-Laurent (direction N-S), Maisonneuve, Rachel, Duluth, Ontario, Sherbrooke, etc... (direction E-W) with their restaurants and shops.
