Montreal?

Peter,
Montreal is quite doable from the US!

Go to St. Huber across the river. Dorval is not that GA friendly.
St. Huber is quite friendly and has Customs on site.

Any advice on FBO's and anything else would be appreciated. I'll be
departing from the Boston area.

TIA,

Thanks Michelle. How far is it to downtown Montreal? Are their cabs at St.
Hubert?
Which FBO do you recommend?

Thanks,
Pete

Peter,
I went to the Exxon affiliated FBO. I cannot remember their name..
(sorry kinda in a hurry)
We rented a car. Downtown is about 10 Km away. Cabs are available not
sure of the cost.
If i have time I will look up the name of the FBO They were quite helpful.

I agree that St. Hubert is a much better choice for visiting Montreal, but
how have you found Dorval not GA-friendly? Was it a bad FBO? I've had good
experiences there with ATC, including terminal, tower, ground, and clearance
-- they are quite accomodating, and even let me drop in once for a
touch-and-go without any fuss. It's much more relaxed than one would expect
from a major international airport.


All the best,


David

David,
Yes I had a "bad" experience with the FBO's at Dorval. They were all Biz
jet oriented and expensive. St. Hubert (sorry) is much more low key and
lower cost. I had excellent service from Canadian ATC.
