Default F;ying to Montreal from the US

I've reviewed the AOPA site prior to the post- was looking mostly for
suggestions on Montreal itself.
Anyone had any experience landing at Trudeau? How hard is it to clear
customs? How about the FBO's? Any other tips?


Treat it like any U.S. class B/C airport. The FBOs are off of 24L/06R,
so expect that runway for landing. CFS (Canada Flight Supplement) gives
detailed information.

Customs is by appointment. When you call, they will ask which FBO
you're landing at and meet you there or clear you by phone.

Anything in particular you're looking to know? Are you going VFR or
IFR? I'm assuming you're coming from the South via Burlington, VT.
If you're crossing around Massena, you'll pretty much just follow the
St. Laurence (I Follow Rivers).
