I was thinking to take a detour to Downtown to have a walk around as I'll have a 7.5 hour layover...
What procedures should I be expecting... Will I be able to have my luggage checked-thru? Or will I have to take my luggage with me... IS there a place I can check my luggage at the airport if I have to take it with me?
I know I will have to clear Canadian customs, figured an Uber downtown... See the basilica, waterfront area... Return during rush hour so figured maybe commuter train to dorval then a quick walk to the eco-shuttle bus back to the terminals...
Will be flying J ( i assume 2 hours is more than enough time to return to YUL?)
any feedback appreciated...
You should also plan on the possibility of being in the airport for the entire duration of the layover.
Downtown to YUL in an Uber during rush hour should take around an hour and this was in the middle of highway reconstruction. Not sure of the status of that roadworks project. Bus 747 has a published schedule that that’s been fairly accurate in terms of travel duration between downtown and YUL.
