Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (formerly Dorval) is just 10 miles west of downtown. With passenger traffic added from rural Mirabel Airport (which handles cargo and some charter traffic), construction and expansion have been ongoing. Walks from arrival gates can be long, and pickup and drop-off areas are often congested. But everything is in one terminal, and outside of rush hours, the trip into the city takes under a half hour.

Ground transportation

L’Aerobus (514-931-9002) runs shuttle buses every half hour from the airport to the central bus station, train station and several hotels downtown. The cost is C$13. There are also taxis and on-call limo providers. A flat taxi fee of C$31 and a flat limo fee of C$50 apply.
