It is going to be really tight in the room with the couch out, will be interesting to maneuver around to get to the balcony.

Hi - I travel from Montreal a few times a year. They sometimes oversell or have a packed flight and check carryons at the gate. I now put a Apple AirTag in my luggage in case. I usually bring my own water bottle and fill it after security. If you need to go through it again just dump the water and refill. And you should get the 2 boarding passes when you check in at the Ottawa airport. Safe travels.
