I searched on Air Canada for a ticket from PHL (Philadelphia) to ICN (Seoul, South Korea). They offer a ticket with a transit of only 53 minutes in YUL.

Is this transit time possible? What customs would I need to go through in Montreal? Any additional security checks? I am a Permanent Resident of the US, so I do not need a transit visa. But usually, it takes me a bit extra time to clear the US customs.

Are they in the same terminal? (The US arrival and international departure)

If the airline sells you this connection then it's doable. You won't need to go through customs in YUL. See the connection instructions for YUL here:

United States-International

After scanning your passport at the kiosk, you will be asked to follow one of two procedures:

  • If your airline offers the option of automatically transferring your luggage, you will be directed to the international departures area.
  • If your airline does not offer the option of automatically transferring your luggage, you will have to pick it up yourself from the carousel, then follow the normal procedure for international arrivals and then for international departures.

If you're buying an Air Canada ticket through to ICN your luggage will be transferred automatically. You can confirm that when you check in.

oh whatever
