Clean and spacious airport but lacks amenities and venues. Unfortunate for a city as big as Toronto.
At Q4, Walk in airport, look for ladies washroom and 3 doors to the right there's an unmarked, recessed door. Home cooked meals as well as fries and smaller things, cheap prices!
Windows CanadaDecember 12, 2011Escape the travelling grind, and join the Windows Picture Perfect Holiday at Toronto Pearson Airport (Gate 141 in Terminal 1 or Gate C27 in Terminal 3) for a FREE holiday photo.
If you have an item that doesn't make it past security, you can have it shipped to you, or stored at the Airport.
Good airport, plenty of places to look in or eat/drink at whilst waiting for your flight.
r DaveMay 1, 2011Never, ever connect internationally through Pearson. Double immigration and customs for the US-bound; plan to add two plus hours. (The inter-terminal baggage protocol alone boggles the mind.)
Jessa EApril 15, 2017If you wanna walk faster, always take the moving walkway (weird looking walkalator), it's actually faster.
Meghna LamoreDecember 26, 2011If you're flying out of the 170s - 180s, Terminal 1, bypass crowded eateries, walk 180/181: Caffe Ritazza's quiet, decently priced, even has wine/beer.
Frederik VerleyeOctober 6, 2015If you're lucky you can watch a hockey game and make some new friends
AriOctober 27, 2014The samsonsite store in term 1, doubles as an affordable luggage store place. $7 for the day
The self serve customs booths are a great idea. Love the idea and it's simple to use.
eric bornemannMay 18, 2021It the easiest to get from international arrival to domestic - allow for more time.
ProzzaKMay 20, 2011Wi-fi is free, friendly staff, everything is neatly organized and working - a fine example of what a good airport should be.
Rami IsmailMay 2, 2016Generally pleasant, now also featuring a NEXUS/Global Entry lane for US-bound travel.
The cheapest way to downtown Toronto is the TTC shuttle bus. $3.00 with cash. $2.50 if you buy a token beforehand. Yours Truly, Backpackwithbrock.com
Fish FishNovember 11, 2017Like they only just opened and are still ironing out a lot of kinks. A lot!
The TTC ( Toronto's public transit ) 192 Bus is a fast and cheap way to get to the subway and on to anywhere in Toronto! Look for it. It's not well signed.
John SowashApril 6, 2014Freshii at the very end of terminal A is excellent. Fresh food; natural ingredients.- Anvar IslamovJanuary 25, 2015"If you see something, say something".Not at Pearson terminal 1.Here nobody cares about unrecognized items.Were trying to bring staff attention to left jacket, half an hour later it is still there...
- Easy to navigate. Gates to USA could have better options and restrooms small.
Kathleen HessertAugust 21, 2013If you're a platinum American Express card holder, they have a wonderful no wait taxi limo service from Intl concourse
Humberto MartinezJune 11, 2011Welcome to Canada! Take advantage of the free WiFi here now before you "disconnect" from the world. At least without Bell/Rogers pillaging your wallet, anyway.
Free wifi is a win, though have to keep reconnecting on an iPhone via Safari. US pre-immigration lines can be very long, so leave plenty of time if going there.
Alex RazimorApril 25, 2013Awesome airport! Lots of restaurants, shopping opportunities, etc! Huge space
BonDecember 23, 2019A 1:20 layover barely gives you enough time to make a connection bc of the in and out of customs/broken TSA loop 🔄
CherylAugust 31, 2014Free wifi though some areas of airport are slow with bad service. Nice airport, organized and clean. Lots of charging stations and seating.
There's free WiFi! Also you are allowed to bring in food items as long as you're flying domestic.
This place became a horror after they started the construction. Crazy lines everyone, wither get VIP access or Nexus unless you want to be thrown in long queues for 2 hrs.
Rebecca LayneMay 15, 2012Don't forget to get a drink at duty free! The airport doesn't have a lot of Resturants! Especially ones open at 5 am!!!
Brian McIlraveyAugust 27, 2012If you are a Nexus holder, there is a Nexus line for domestic security. It's near the wall, almost hidden. Usually way shorter line ups.
Nice free WiFi and its an airport so the variety of stuff in the departure lounge is good
S POctober 21, 2016Long (but easy) walk to international flights... Leave yourself enough connecting time.
David TutinMarch 8, 2013If you are travelling to the US leave some extra time for US border control. The queues can get quite long!
Grace CatindoyDecember 27, 2019Waiting louge is so comfy here! It is also surrounded by souvenir shops
Parking is much less expensive over at Viscount. Park there and take the link train in. If you have a smartphone, take a photo of where you left your car so you can find it later.
When arriving try to get your Tim Hortons at the lounges before you exit the baggage carousels- the one by the terminal exit is always packed.
YYZ is a surprisingly large airport. Take that into account if you have a connection.
What a gong show at the airport. They have a new cattle system which herds everyone (except nexus holders) into a holding tank. Complete fail if you would prefer waiting in the AC lounge.
Jason SchlossbergMarch 21, 2013Weekend customs lines during sequester can take up to 5 hours! Come very early or get Global Entry.
When flying United as a Canadian, be sure you use the automated terminals in front of the desks to ensure skipping that 45 minute lineup. At least two hours before your flight, if crossing the border.
KeisukeJuly 21, 2019You had better prepare $3 for bus if you wanna save your money. Exit B to 52 bus stop to go to city.
Jackson GallagherSeptember 26, 2014The US border pre clearance area is fantastic! I got through so fast.
