This absolutely isn't true at YUL, assuming you have no luggage to pick up. The OSS area has NEXUS machines and you get dumped back in to the main domestic terminal area without needing to re-clear security.

No issue at YUL yesterday, connecting from LAX on to YOW. As noted above by Cozmo456, for domestic connections you get directed down a long narrow hall and come out by gate 51. If your connection is to another international flight, you exit directly into that section of the terminal. But no need to re-clear security in either instance.

My last two times through, they would not let me through to domestic and forced me to re-clear.

If you needed to re-clear you had bags on a non AC to AC connection or you were coming from a non OSS location. |

I guess you were too tired to notice. When you go down the stairs in to the main customs hall you need to keep left and left again by where the elevators are to get to the OSS domestic connections area, which bypasses having to clear security. Usually there is someone hollering about "domestic connections this way" but if it was pretty dead then maybe not.

Ahhh, that was my mistake. I went right to the NEXUS machines. I’ll try that when I’m through YUL again in a few weeks. Thanks for the help! The hardest part about the whole experience at YUL is the signs are off to the left of the escalator when you enter the customs hall so if look straight or right you’ll probably end up going through the regular arrivals. My only other complaint is it felt like they ask to see a boarding pass every 100m but that still beats taking a bus! |

Flying ARN-BRU-YUL-YYC on Monday. A post by [MENTION=168021]YVRtoYYZ[/MENTION] in the other OSS thread on the Canada forum suggests it's possible to get OSS on an itinerary like that with another carrier on the first leg, but in practice, anything special needed to achieve it? i.e. if I get BPs from SK, will they have ITD OSS on them for the connection at YUL? Or would I need to get new BPs from AC, either at BRU or via OLCI?
AC app says I won't need to clear security in YUL, but we all know how reliable it is. |

The important info will be the barcode on your BP for the YUL-YYC segment, which will be scanned numerous times. Whether OSS or ITD appears on them doesn't change anything. I've scanned AI, MH, ME and SU printed boarding passes and all have come back as good for ITD and none displayed anything that's not usually there.
You'll be fine. And if you really want an AC BP and don’t want to find one in BRU just enter BRU as your departure point and re check in on the AC app and you’ll get an electronic one on your phone with a nice little ITD OSS on it and the proper zone number too. |

And my girlfriend is almost pregnant. ;) Question: "Are you pregnant?" Answer: "Just a little bit." Question: "how many months?" Answer: "six months." True story, back when we lived in Brazil and our new maid showed up. A friend adopted the baby. |

I've got it wrong twice at YUL! Am I correct in thinking that the trick is NOT to take the escalators down to luggage area? or does one go down and then peel off?

Nope. In fact, one has to make a U-turn after making the first set of escalators. Or follow the purple connections signs that veers out of the main immigration hall...?
