Stories - My Own Airport

My Own Airport

An hour later we landed at Montreal’s Mirabel Airport – about 19 miles northwest of downtown Montreal. It was a beautiful, sunny, day and the airport was buzzing. Several jumbo planes flying in or flying out, all of them coming from or going to Europe or Japan. It was a big, very new airport, built in 1975.

At Pierre’s advice I picked up my bag and bought a ticket on the right bus. It took me into the city and dropped me off right-across the street from my hotel. On the ride into the city I noticed that there was a lot of snow piled up on the sidewalks. This surprised me. I had assumed that Montreal would have the best snow removal capability anywhere? But, no.
