    Looking at flights to Vancouver.
    Transfer options are generally Heathrow or Montreal or Toronto.
    Options on sky scanner give either 1.5 hrs stop over in Heathrow or 4 odd hrs in Montreal.
    1.5 hrs seems way too tight...what if flight delayed?
    Would I be best off taking 4 hrs rather than stress of tight turnaround?
    No direct flights dates I require....

    1.5 hours is fine in Heathrow if it's on time. Depending on the time and how busy it is a flight delay would put you on the next flight to Vancouver assuming there is on.

    4 hours isn't too bad of a layover before a short-ish following flight IMO. Saunter out, take your time picking somewhere to eat and then have a couple of drinks with a good book.

    If your arriving and departing form the same terminal in LHR 1.5hrs is more than enough, a terminal change turns that into a tight connection
