Every connection is different, and it is not possible to guarantee in advance that a passenger will have enough time to catch their next flight. Connection times may vary depending on your itinerary, border processing requirements, security procedures, airport traffic levels, and flight schedules.
Planning a connection at YUL
When you book an itinerary with a connection, airlines generally take into account the minimum connection times required between flights.
However, several factors can affect the time needed to make your connection:
- Flight delays.
- Border clearance processing times.
- Security screening wait times.
- Airport traffic and passenger volumes.
- Gate changes.
- Weather conditions or operational constraints.
Transiting through Canada
If your itinerary includes a transit through Canada, be sure to verify the applicable entry and transit requirements before your trip.
YUL's Connection Centre
Passengers arriving from outside Canada and continuing to another destination may be directed to YUL's Connection Centre.
This dedicated area is designed to help connecting passengers move efficiently through the required procedures before their next flight.
