Practical notes
YQB is the arrival airport, not Montréal. Allow roughly 25–45 minutes to central accommodation in ordinary road conditions and more during winter disruption. The airport taxi amount is a planning allowance, not a verified current fixed fare. Check restaurant ingredients and halal preparation; warm clothing and suitable footwear are personal purchases outside the trip model.
