| - If you ever take a morning flight from Trudeau -- YUL --
Be sure to bring some camping gear. This I have to tell
I arrived at 6 am, punched my booking reference;
The screen said, "Go to counter." No "sorry," "please," no deference.
The check-in line was moderate, but to compensate
Clerks chatted with passengers, to ensure that we'd wait.
The line to reach security was football fields long.
Folks spent several hours, waiting in the throng.
The guards in security ensured their checks were thorough.
No bag, no pram, no walking stick escaped their careful burrow.
In sum over two hours from entry to the gate
(Be sure you check some luggage, or else the plane won't wait).
At the gate, we were informed they'd overbooked by eight.
They had to find eight volunteers. This added to the wait.
Put together YUL and our flagship line
Are rated with a solid 1, that's what I opine.
