Tips for 35 min Connections
Check in early since staffing at this small airport can be limited outside of peak departure banks.
There is no need to worry about long terminal transfers—gates are all within short walking distance of security.
If connecting through a larger hub like Toronto Pearson or Montreal-Trudeau, focus your buffer time there rather than at YFC.
Security lines are almost never long except right before the few daily bank departures, typically early morning and late afternoon.
Car rental and baggage claim are adjacent to the single terminal exit, making tight turnarounds easy for connecting ground transport.
