Reviews
Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport Reviews (10)
I have flown into Pierre Trudeau Airport in Montreal many times and had absolutely no language problems nor confusions with air traffic control. As a pilot, I feet totally confident within their operating environment and offer them my highest praise. Those who complain about Trudeau Airport need to fly into some of the marginally safe airports elsewhere where I have landed and realize that you have been strongly challenged in the use of basic survival skills.
OK But Not Great
My home base, so I know it very well. Compared with other places in the world, not bad, specially since the latest revamp (US terminal front-end). Long walks (for example from furthest US gates, 80-85, to customs), but in general quite user-friendly. The roads around it are something else (been in reconstruction for a couple of years, probably will be for a number of years still), no on-site rail service, expensive on-site parking ($19/day, off-site is $12-15). I’d take this over, say, IAD any day of the week.
Not As Bad As Expected
This air port is not as bad as expected. Recently I had to use YUL airport. It seems OK but at least I can say that it is better than Ottawa as at least staff replies in English if you talk to them.
French Radio Communication
Concerning the radio communication, Dorval, or the rest of the Quebec province airports are not the only international airports to speak a different language than English. Go to France and you will hear French, go to Russia, you will hear the controllers speak in Russian, go to China and the same will happen in Mandarin this time, go to Mexico or many other Latin American country and you will hear the pilots and controllers speak in Spanish. So, can we stop talking about the French in the air of the only French speaking area of North America?! It is a non-issue. You should be proud; it brings a different taste to this continent. Please get over it.
Good Services
Facilities needs a face lift – hard to compete with the grace of Toronto, but services are good; i was really impressed with security, detailed and efficient. One of the first airports in Canada to introduce self tagging of baggage. Thirty Six Dollars gets you downtown.
Poor Design
This is a very strange airport. It has to be French in design as there is no convenience to anything from getting to the airport to parking, to check-in to walk what feels like 3 miles to reach a new terminal that looks like a dentists waiting room. The few services that are offered are very limited and very overpriced. They should have made Mirabel the main airport !!
Used to be Dorval...
This place used to be Dorval Airport, now it’s called Trudeau, as it sounds more French. It’s an average airport with expensive parking and some crazy traffic around it. It’s in the middle of the city, which can be convenient for locals. Staff is mostly middle aged folks and not very friendly in general. Still not as bad as Ottawa. Terminals for local flights look more like a doctor’s waiting room. At the main terminals you can plug in your notebook and get Wifi connection, I think. Water is very expensive, but you need to buy it as security takes away yours upon entering the transit section of the terminal.
Language. .
I have flown in Montreal airport, if you speak to them in French they answer in French, and if you speak to them in English they speak in English.. No problems there. Everything is good..
French Radio Communication
This is the only major air hub in the world where French is also used for air-ground communication. It totally confuses English pilots and it is a wonder anything works here. ICAO is based in Montreal so you would think they could conform to the world language of aviation.
I had a correspondance in Montreal from international. System is totally inefficient. Friends ending their trip in Montreal went through customs faster than us. Then we had to exit the secured zone to get to our gate, requiring we submit to an additionnal security check and loose additionnal time waiting in queues. If you plan a trip with correspondance in Montreal make sure to have sufficient time between flights or, if possible, go through Toronto Pearson airport, they are lot more efficient.
