Author Topic: Trip to Canada Richard Hamilton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1341 From: Evansville, Indiana Registered: Jan 2000 posted 03-31-2003 06:36 PM                     I am going to Canada in a couple of weeks and I am booking my flight this week. I have to go to St. Felecian which is about 200 miles northeast of Quebec. I am assuming that I can't fly into St. Felecian! I was told that it is better to fly into Montreal than Quebec, which is about 300 miles away from St. Felecian. Has anyone had any bad experiences with the Quebec airport? I'm wondering if it is worth the extra 100 miles of driving if I fly into Montreal? Thanks, Rick  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Oh yeah, if you get lost in Quebec City you'd better know some French. Nearly everyone in Montreal speaks English, well at least the ones that will give you the time of day. I'd probably go with YQB if you can, unless you really feel like driving for 18 hours roundtrip from Montreal, which is more than double the roundtrip from Quebec City (according to MapQuest).
