  "terminal_info": "YUL operates a single continuous terminal with domestic, international, and US transborder zones radiating from one central departures hall. Domestic and international gates share the same secure side, while the transborder wing branches off after US pre-clearance. Moving walkways link the long piers, and bilingual signage (English/French) plus frequent floor decals make navigation straightforward.\n\nMost gate-to-gate walks take 6\u201312 minutes; the longest stretch from the far domestic gates to the end of the international pier is roughly 15 minutes at a normal pace. Connections that involve US pre-clearance add time because you must exit the international zone, clear security again, and complete CBP formalities\u2014plan 30\u201345 extra minutes for that flow.\n\nSecurity screening is centralized on the departures level with dedicated CATSA checkpoints for domestic/international and a separate entry to the US pre-clearance facility. Typical waits are 10\u201320 minutes midday and 25\u201340 minutes during the morning and evening banks; NEXUS and designated family/PRM lanes are signed. International arrivals clear CBSA with eGates for eligible passports; connections follow a marked transfer path leading to re-screening. US-bound travelers complete immigration and customs before boarding, arriving stateside as domestic passengers.\n\nAmenities cluster along the center spine and at each pier: Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounges in both the domestic and international zones, the National Bank Lounge in international, and a Maple Leaf plus Desjardins Odyssey Lounge in transborder. Dining highlights include Quebec smokehouse fare at Pork & Pickle, Caf\u00e9 A\u00e9ro for local pastries, and familiar brands like Starbucks and Tim Hortons; duty-free and local boutiques line the international wing. Free Wi\u2011Fi, plentiful charging, water refill stations, and art installations by local creators appear throughout the terminal.\n\nAccessibility provisions include elevators at every vertical connection, lowered service counters, visual paging, tactile paving near escalators, and wheelchair escort services bookable through airlines. Families can use nursing rooms near gates 47 and 53, stroller-friendly corridors, children's play corners in the domestic pier, and family/security assistance lanes during peak periods.",
