Self-tagging of luggage
All self-service kiosks are equipped with a luggage-tag printer so that you can tag your own checked luggage. Montr�al�Trudeau is the first airport in the world to offer this feature in a shared-user environment. If this option is not yet offered by your airline, you should proceed to the airline check-in counter to have your luggage tagged.
Duty-free purchases
The duty-free shop for passengers on transborder flights is located immediately after the check-in counters. Remember to place any liquids, gels and aerosols that you have purchased in your checked luggage.

Wait for the boarding announcement for your flight. A final screening will be conducted by your airline during the boarding process. Please have your boarding pass and ID available.
