If you waited for ages to board a flight at Montreal-Trudeau this summer, you may have wondered whether passengers at other airports were having it quite as bad. Most were not, according to CNN. The news site published a list of international airports with the worst delays in 2022 and Montreal and Toronto's hubs took the top spots. Vancouver's international airport came in 10th with over a third of flights delayed.
Montreal-Trudeau may be among the top three airports in Canada, but wait times to get through U.S. Customs have been extreme for months. Travellers have reported standing in line for hours and many even missing their flights, as low staffing has slowed processing speeds. In response, U.S. Customs has launched a new app to expedite security checks. The Mobile Passport Control (MPC) app now allows passport and customs declaration information to be submitted securely and for free via smartphone.
