| - One thing Montreal Airport has going for it: They know how to operate in the snow. It was lightly snowing during both my arrival and departure, but there was no delay or problem with either flight.
Other than that, I found the airport to be OK, but in need of a makeover. Not unlike LAX, it looks like a convention center from the 1970s.
I also found the signage to be a little confusing. For my departing flight, I followed the red maple leaf symbol signs halfway through the airport, thinking they lead to Air Canada flights. (That is their symbol). But it turned out to be for departures to other Canadian cities. They could have just used "words" to make things clearer. I had to double back and ask someone.
Food choices could have been better too. On my departure day, I passed by 5 sandwich shops, one pre-packaged sushi place, one bar, and one coffee spot. How about a little more variety? (I'm not into sandwiches).
They do have a convenient and very nice hotel attached to the airport, but that's another review.
Dan's Airport checklist:

-- Logistics and getting around: (3)
-- Shops and amenities (3)
