For the weekday crowd, this is worth repeating: TSA Precheck was recognized by the security authorities at the airport in Montreal (YUL).

That's a first. I've had TSA Precheck for a few years, but since security is a factor of the local country (unlike customs, as you can do the "border check" for entering the U.S. with U.S. customs offices while *IN* Montreal), TSA Precheck never factored until I boarded a plane yesterday. I didn't actively seek (or know to look for) a TSA Precheck line, but when I got to the first checkpoint, they ushered me into a different line. To be honest, the line was long and slow, but the fact that I didn't have to take off my shoes was nice. Beyond that, the rest was the same.

don't you preclear US customs in Montreal, i assume that's why. I have a Nexus card so i see it on all my US-bound flights (not that i have a lot, but still). -- nm* - Andie Dec 2, 09:44 3
- Yes, pre-clear US customs in Montreal. That's what my Global Entry does. But customs is different than security. Security is what TSA Precheck does. - Mop🧹 Dec 2, 09:56 2
  - i know. TSA doesn't apply to all flights from Canada, just US bound ones. -- nm - Andie Dec 2, 09:56 1
    - Air Canada has a whole page on it. - Andie Dec 2, 09:57
