Connection Time at YYZ
I'm looking to book some internal flights in Canada - YUL-YVR connecting via YYZ. The connection time is 1 hour 38 minutes. Is that a comfortable connection time for YYZ? I've never been to the airport before so it will be my first time connecting there and I don't know how punctual the YUL-YYZ flights usually are. Also, I'm connecting onto one of the flatbed services so am keen to make it rather than being put onto a non-flat bed service (which would not be the end of the world but still ...)
Thank you in advance.

As this is a YYZ topic rather than an Air Canada or Aeroplan specific topic the thread has been relocated to the Canada forum for further discussion.

Domestic connections are dead easy. Get off your plane, find the new gate (it will be in the same half of Terminal 1 - a D gate), and wait to board your second flight. No re-clearing security, no rechecking bags, no fuss.
As others have said, this all assumes your are flying Air Canada the whole way. But this is the Air Canada forum, so let's hope that it is a good assumption.

Yes for anyone else reading this in the future the key is that this is all AC or at least the same terminal/airline.
If you had to go between T1 and T3, it would be a little more tight with likely having to collect a bag, find the monorail and reclear security. Actually given my recent YYZ baggage fun I would say all bets are off.

Sorry all.- should have clarified that it was all Air Canada on the flights. Have gone ahead and booked. Currently waiting for AC to actually charge the credit card though. (I got the receipt with the booking reference so will give it another couple of days).
