I came through YUL last Tuesday, connecting from LYS onto a YWG flight. Time from leaving my seat (once the plane door was open) to sitting in the "domestic" lounge with a cuppa was 16 minutes. I cannot think of any airport that I have been through recently where the international to domestic connection experience is anything like as good.

Now my question. Next month we will be connecting via YUL from CMN to YWG all on AC. The admtl connection guide says

• If your airline offers the option of automatically transferring your luggage, you will be directed to the domestic departures area. (If you are not arriving from the European Union, you will first be directed to the pre-boarding screening checkpoint for connections.)

Question -- is the "pre-boarding screening checkpoint for connections" referred to here just the general YUL security, or is there a separate security checkpoint for international non EU connections such as ours?
