Montreal Airport experience - connecting flight to Orlando

[evie308]

Hello,

We are flying out of Toronto and connecting in Montreal via Air Canada. We have 1 hour to get to our connecting flight to Orlando. Is this enough time to pick up our luggage and go through US cutoms?

So worried.....

Hi Evie,

Check out my own thread.

The members here have calmed my own nerves about my 1 1/2 hours between connecting flights, as odds are you won't have to pick up your own luggage!

Oe hour is probably okay in the summer. If you are flying in snow/ice season you might want to adjust your Toronto/Montreal leg back an hour; de-icing in Toronto could swallow a chunk of your connection time. AC has almost hourly service between the the two cities except for the wee hours of the morning, so switching should be possible.

We had the same situation last year connecting through Toronto from Ottawa. WJ added a Toronto stopover to our direct flight with 75 minutes transfer. I had them move our departing flight back an hour and was glad we did. The flight we were originally scheduled on was arriving a bit late (probably because of icing) just as they started to call our departing flight. We might have made it through, but it would have been pretty tight!
