We are at the airport for about 5-6 hours. The flight is about 5 hours. We get in around 5 am our time (8 am Montreal time). We will then have until early afternoon to wait at the Montreal airport. 

Be back at the gate before 10:30 pm. 

We will text and departure time changes but the meet up time will be 10:30 pm, even if we leave later than originally scheduled. We have no intention of changing the meet back at 10:30 pm time.
