We booked the tickets through the cruise line from Hartford to Vancouver and back with the connection in Montreal. Beautiful airport in Montreal. Big, though, very big. So, on the way to Vancouver we had about 80 minutes in Montreal to do the following:

- walk for about 2 miles (I am not kidding) through absolutely empty hallways

- pick up our luggage

- go with it through Canadian customs

- reenter the ticketing hall of the local flights

- find the ‘ baggage drop-off’ area

- stay in line with all other people( not transit)

- drop our luggage

- put it ourselves on the line to X-machine ( there was that French-Canadian there, telling us that everything would be ‘ bon-bon’)

- stand in line to the security ( that is after we went through security in Hartford)

- get through it

- run to the gate

- jump into the plane while it is on the takeoff

- slam the toilet door and stay there for the rest of the flight
