The majority of merchandise inside is liquors, cosmetics, cigarettes, souvenirs, and smaller than expected amounts of packaged foods. Don't be afraid to comparison shop, as some items are very good deals, and some are not. Rest rooms are available with outside entrances. However, the men's room does not have mirrors.

This Duty Free is located inside YUL Departure Area for International flights…read more Usually I don't like to forced to walk through Duty Free shops when traveling but The Loop maybe one of the one I enjoyed. Nice collection of alcohol includes Canadian brands and A lot of Whiskey from around the World. I suggest checking their website which has full pricing and current specials before heading over to the airport. Those cute souvenir is hard to resist. I even want to pick up a few and I live in Canada!

Staff is friendly, informed and very helpful. It's very refreshing as they don't harp on you and chase you down at this location, as they will in other duty free I've come across in my travels. The girls are the cosmetic counters are always very pleasant and helpful. They've got a cute little area where you can often sample a selected alcohol of the months and they usually have a promotion on of some sorts on said alcohol. Informative and cheap! They have a large selection of Canadian alcohols and a really good selection of specialty whiskey! Bonus points! Always happy when I get to stop in here on my travels!

More like "Doody-Full" Americas…read more I am not exaggerating: This place smelled like a sewer. I have no idea what was going on - a plumbing issue, a busted septic tank, a pig farm on the property... who knows. All I know was that we could not spend another minute more than necessary in this horrid, horrid stenchbox. But... they have cheap beer and liquor to take to Canada. They conveniently package them in cases of 24 and liters, respectively, which is the maximum amount per person allowed over the border. Perhaps ironically, I chose the Labatt Blue - a case of 24 was $20, no taxes, no bottle deposits. An admirable deal. Supposedly you need to keep your receipt to show to the border patrol in Canada... but you know how it goes... they REALLY don't care in Canada. :)

One of the oddest Duty Free Shops you'll find at a border crossing. The building looks like a…read morehouse and is located at the very last exit before the border station. To get here, you have to take the exit, go all the way to the end, then turn right onto a country road, and finally into the long driveway leading to the store. Upon purchasing your items, you will be escorted by a lead car driven by an employee of the store to a point where you have to take the side road leading to the on-ramp which brings you to the Canadian border. The distance is very short. The reason for the escort is that the Duty Free Shop is located in an area where one could take a country road South thus avoiding the border. If you are returning from Canada at the same border crossing which is Highgate, there is a much larger more modern Duty Free Store just a couple hundred feet from the US border station with a huge selection of items.

I have only been to this airport once and it was very early in the morning. I had a 8:00 flight and…read morearrived at the airport by 6:00 a.m. it was a very stress-free process. An employee quickly helped me retrieve a boarding pass from a kiosk machine. I then went through TSA very quickly. The terminal was clean and well-organized. Absolutely no issues or problems. Compared with traveling out of airports in Florida and the New York City area, this was wonderful. However, I'm not sure if it was also contributed to by the early morning weekday flight. Therefore, 4 stars until I try another flight.

This is a single terminal international airport. It's divided into three sections: domestic…read moreCanadian flights; trans-border flights with the United States (yes, you go thru US Customs here), and international flights. Most of my experience here has been confined to trans-border Air Canada flights, which tend to go fairly smoothly. The problem here is the long walk between gates if you have to cross sections, especially between trans-border and international flights. Most recently, it took nearly an hour to get from my arrival gate to the departure gate.

Well I'm going to skip the geopolitical aspect of why this airport exists. It is what it is…read more Situated fairly close to downtown compared to the cities, it's short fall is it has almost no public transportation option. No metro station, no dedicated bus line straight downtown. There is always Uber or cabs. Cabs have a flat fee if headed downtown unfortunately I don't know what it is. For the hotels around the airport, many have shuttle service. The airport has a couple of restaurant options, some before customs some after. There is a duty free shop which offers everything you need to be forgiven. Remember there are two sides of the airport, national and international concourses. Bon voyage

NOTE: This review was for Aeroports de Montreal, which has/had Mirabel under its purview. It was…read morethen treated as an update to my review for Montreal's Trudeau (YUL) International airport. This review is actually for Montreal's Mirabel Airport (YMX), so the rating is for that location, as opposed to being blended for both airports. - - - - - If you build it, they may not come. Aeroports de Montreal is the umbrella entity operating P.E.-Trudeau International Airport (YUL) in the Dorval area, which is the airport everyone knows about, as well as Montreal-Mirabel International Airport (YMX), which is located quite a ways north of both the city and its huge island suburb of Laval. Similarly, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey operates JFK, LaGuardia, Newark-Liberty and possibly one other airport. Also, Los Angeles World Airports operates other Southland airports in addition to LAX. Locals may diss on Trudeau, formerly called Dorval, but I think it's an airport that has been getting better and better. It's a little ways west of the city, but if you think Trudeau is far, you ought to see how far Mirabel is. That said, this review is largely about Mirabel Airport. When Montreal was on the cusp of becoming a force to reckon with and was growing rapidly and building its infrastructure, the current leadership in the Montreal area deemed that a super airport way up on the north shore should be built to accommodate future growth. Along with that, it was expected that both a highway link and a train link would be built to make Mirabel reachable from the city center, or Centre-Ville. The enthusiasm in Montreal was reportedly running very high at the time, pursuant to the building of the Metro and the Olympic Village. In fact, Mirabel Airport opened with a massive terminal in 1975, just in time to handle the traffic for the 1976 Olympic games. Montreal's international carriers had set up operations at Mirabel and, for a while, this was the main international airport. However, the fact that the anticipated growth did not occur called for retrenching and reestablishing then-Dorval as the de facto main airport for the area. Another way to look at it is that Toronto eclipsed Montreal as the economic engine of Canada and, as such, Toronto-Pearson is now Canada's busiest airport. Mirabel continued on largely as an airport for charter flights and other operations. In my travels to this area, I have taken the brief detour westward from the 15 - Autoroute des Laurentides - to see what Mirabel was like. It is one massive terminal that is big, boxy, and looks like a huge convention center from the 70s, such as McCormick Place in Chicago, in the midst of what appears to be farmland. I once remember being able to drive up on the passenger loading and unloading ramp along the front of Mirabel's terminal and remembering how quiet is was. Mirabel is reportedly now a center for aerospace related industries. Coincidentally, when the nearby GM plant along the 15 in Ste. Therese-Boisbriand ceased operations, lastly building Camaros and Firebirds, Bell Helicopters, an aerospace concern, took over that space and one can see a helicopter out front instead of a Camaro or a Firebird.

We visited Marche Jean Talon on a Monday morning during our Montreal-Quebec city summer vacation…read more From the variety of shops, to the quality of produce, it absolutely blew us away! Can't believe it's open all day every day; wish we had anything close to this in our neighborhood. Street parking was easy to find on a weekday morning, and the market was pretty quiet when we arrived just before 10 AM. We split a rocket, goat cheese, walnut panini on ciabatta, which was delicious. I also tried a few cheeses at the extensive cheese shop, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I could have spent hours at the marketing roaming, admiring all the vibrant, fresh produce, and watching local artists sketch and paint the floral section -- which is stunning. It was a great place to buy souvenirs and trip gifts from local vendors. If only we had time to come back to Marche Jean Talon multiple days on our trip. Highly recommend!

this may be an unpopular opinion, but I gotta say, this visit was pretty underwhelming. based upon…read morethe pictures I saw, and all the reviews that I read I thought for sure this was a can't miss place to go in Montreal. It ended up being a less than one hour jaunt to this part of town. Perhaps it's my fault for setting this expectation, but I was definitely expecting a much larger selection of stores. While the selection of stores and places was decent, I really can't say it was mind blowing. I would say we spent the majority of our time talking to the people selling maple syrup and maple syrup related products. The people running that stand/booth were super friendly and more than happy to educate us on the different types of syrup and such. Outside of that, I can't say anything really stood out as super unique or eye catching. OVERALL - not must see tv folks. Perhaps it's bigger/better in the summer months and or weekends? Perhaps it is, but I won't be coming back to find out. CELEBRITY RATING - Avril Lavigne
