Long layover in Montreal

[succubus]

Hello everyone,

Benn reading through some of the prior threads about a layover in Montreal....

I’m arriving on a Thursday at the beginning of April at 1:30pm and leaving 8:15pm so almost a 7 hour layover. My luggage will be checked through and I have Nexus but traveling in economy and no airline status.

I’m sure it’s fine to get downtown but if I grab some food and/or see a lady, would I have enough time to get back to the airport given that it would be the start of rush hour around then?

Thanks in advance for your insights

the problem is there are is no train from the airport, only bus (a direct one, but still a bus). then there is the issue of airline delays, which are common and can derail your plans

I would take the 747 bus to Lionel Groulx and stay in that area, as there are several incalls nearby, plus it is slightly closer to the airport than getting deep inside downtown in rush hour and winter conditions
I would book from 3.30pm to 4.30pm/ 5pm max, then take the 747 back to the airport and grab dinner there,

another option:
there is a massage parlor le penthouse, that is near the airport https://www.lepenthouse.com/
