Sobre Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport

Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL) is the main airport for Montreal, in the province of Quebec, Canada. Most people call it Montréal-Trudeau or simply YUL, and many locals still say Dorval, after the suburb where it stands, about 15 km (9 miles) west of downtown Montreal.

Air Canada has a hub here, and Air Transat, Porter and WestJet add routes across Canada, to the United States and to the Caribbean and Mexico. Air France, British Airways, KLM, Lufthansa, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, Royal Air Maroc and other carriers link Montreal with Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. The airport handled about 22.4 million passengers in 2025.

All flights use one terminal building with three zones: domestic, international, and transborder for flights to the United States, where passengers clear US immigration and customs before boarding.

From the airport, most travelers head downtown and to Old Montreal, usually 20 to 40 minutes by road depending on traffic. Others go on to Laval, the Laurentians and Mont-Tremblant, or further to Ottawa and Québec City.

Consejos de llegada a Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport

If you arrive from outside Canada, including from the United States, you go through Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) inspection on arrival. Have your passport ready, and your eTA or visa if your nationality needs one; US citizens do not need an eTA. You can fill in your customs declaration in advance in the ArriveCAN app. Officers may ask about the purpose of your trip and where you are staying, and waits vary a lot with the number of flights landing.

After baggage claim you walk through to the public arrivals hall on the arrivals level, the lower floor of the terminal. Signs at YUL are in French and English. Domestic passengers go straight to the baggage carousels and the exit.

Outside, the STM 747 bus to downtown runs 24 hours a day, official taxis wait at Door 23 with a dispatcher, and limousines are at Door 24. Pre-booked drivers usually meet passengers in the arrivals hall.

Montreal is on Eastern Time and uses the Canadian dollar.

Transporte terrestre

The 747 bus is the cheapest way downtown at any hour; a taxi or pre-booked car is easier with luggage, at night or for addresses outside the center.

  • 747 bus to downtown Montreal

    STM's 747 bus runs 24 hours a day, every day, from the arrivals level to Lionel-Groulx Métro station and on to downtown hotels on René-Lévesque Boulevard and Berri-UQAM. Buy a ticket at the machines in arrivals or pay the exact fare in coins on board; it makes several stops and can be slow in traffic.

    Official taxis wait at Door 23 on the arrivals level, where a dispatcher helps you. A flat rate applies to downtown Montreal, with a higher rate at night, and cards are accepted.

  • Limousine

    Airport limousines wait at Door 24 on the arrivals level and are hired on the spot.

  • Uber and ride-hailing

    Ride-hailing pickups are on the arrivals level and at the P4 Express area, as shown in the app; waits can grow at peak times.

  • VIA Rail shuttle to Dorval station

    VIA Rail runs a free shuttle for its train passengers from the departures level to Dorval station, a few minutes away, for trains to Ottawa, Toronto and Québec City.

  • Private transfer

    A pre-booked car meets you in the arrivals hall, useful for families, groups, late arrivals and trips to Laval, the Laurentians or Mont-Tremblant.

How far is Montreal airport from downtown?

Montréal-Trudeau Airport (YUL) is in Dorval, about 15 km (9 miles) west of downtown Montreal. The drive usually takes 20 to 40 minutes depending on traffic, more at rush hour or during roadwork. The 747 bus runs downtown 24 hours a day, and official taxis charge a flat rate to the downtown area.

Does Montreal airport have US preclearance?

Yes. Montréal-Trudeau is one of the Canadian airports with US preclearance. Passengers flying to the United States clear US immigration and customs in the transborder zone before boarding, so they land in the US as domestic passengers.

Not yet. The REM light rail station under the airport is under construction and is expected to open in late 2027. Until then, the STM 747 bus is the public transit link to downtown, running 24 hours a day to Lionel-Groulx Métro station, René-Lévesque Boulevard and Berri-UQAM.

Do I need an eTA to fly to Montreal?

Most visitors from visa-exempt countries need an approved Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before boarding a flight to Canada, applied for online. US citizens do not need one, and travelers who need a visa apply for that instead. Check the Government of Canada's requirements for your passport before you book.

How do I clear customs at Montreal airport?

Arriving international passengers, including those from the United States, go through Canada Border Services Agency inspection before baggage claim. You can fill in your customs declaration in advance in the ArriveCAN app. Officers may ask about your trip and where you are staying, and waits vary with the number of flights landing.
