To reach the airport, my BFF and I chose to go by Bus 747 from the downtown area. The one-way journey set us back C$11.00 (~S$10.85) per person.

We encountered a problem at the self-service kiosk of Air Transat. Fortunately, one of the staff members was quick to assist us, directing us to a less crowded manned counter. We were certainly grateful for the service.
The airport ranks as the third busiest in the country, and is one of the eight Canadian airports with the US border pre-clearance system put in place.

Say hello to Mr. Moose!
There are three runways in operation at the airport, though but only two of them are used for take-off and landing. The oldest one has been decommissioned and serves solely as a taxiway.

| Did you know that the airport was formerly known and is still commonly referred to as Montreal - Dorval? |
There are five lounges available at the airport, one of which we visited before departing for Cancun, Mexico.
