Montreal Cruise Terminal to YUL Airport Question?

[tarrenel]

Our cruise ends in Montreal and we are looking at a flight that leaves at 12:25pm from YUL, Is there enough time to get to the airport from the cruise ship? Thanks in advance for your response.

If everything runs smoothly with arriving on time should be plenty of time. It's a super short 30ish minutes from the center of town to YUL.

Montrealer here. As stated, you should have no issues making that late a flight, barring any major accidents, weather events etc. If you are lucky enough to be doing it on a weekend morning, the drive would be even easier. In recent years, Highway 20 between downtown and the airport has been heavily re-built with the addition of dedicated bus/taxi lanes, which greatly eases the drive time. Keep in mind that you will be clearing US Customs/Immigration in Montreal before boarding, so unless you have NEXUS/Global Entry, give yourself plenty of time for boarding.

A caveat, based on our experience a few years ago.  Our ship was scheduled to arrive at the usual Montreal port, but due to high water, we had to dock downstream.  We were fortunate in that we had booked the cruiseline transfer to the airport, as there were no taxis, drivers, or rental cars there.  It was a very long ride to the airport, but we did get to the airport in good time for our mid-day flight.
