Peter StraussOctober 28, 2014Headache central. I like the idea of iPad menu things but I find them highly suspect and I do not trust them...
What can I say? It's an airport. Pretty nice looking, ample seating etc.
Hunter BurganAugust 10, 2012Get the table by the front window for some of the best people watching in the city.
Valu park is the way to go! Just a quick train from there gets you to any of the terminals.
Chris TaylorFebruary 5, 2010Mobile check in is awesome on the iPhone (aircanada) but be aware that your gate # doesn't show up on your eticket. You need to consult the display boards to see where you're leaving from!
TauheedAugust 24, 2014Messed with the exit, took a route through their office and I ended up outside without my luggage. I had to manage a security officer to sneak into the luggage area from outside. It's a messy maze.
Mohamed BarbaryJanuary 1, 2015International arrivals is parking G lol if u park anywhere else ur in for a walk
Good airport but make sure you leave plenty of time to make it through security.
Get the falafel tray it hummus tray from Beaches near Sbux in T3
T1 timmies on the domestic side now has an Express Lane - whooo hooo!
Jody WasbroMarch 31, 2013Be sure to allow plenty of time between connections. Supposedly US budget cuts mean fewer resources and way longer lines
John KlimekFebruary 26, 2019When I’m in from Chicago, I like to get some authentic Toronto pizza here- Rev "The Rev" 😈June 27, 2013Instead of rip off exchange rate at TravelEx at airport, bought booze and cigarettes at the duty-free shop. Full of win.
If you are going to the U.S. and don't have GOES/Nexus, plan on arriving at least 2 hours early. The US Customs preclearance takes at least an hour of queuing to go through.
Literally one of the most expensive airports in the world for planes to land at and as a result, those costs are passed down to you. This airport is almost guaranteed to have the most expensive flight- TauheedAugust 24, 2014Don't forget to empty your opaque water bottles before you put them through scanners :-s
In terminal 3 near B40 the Starbucks and the restaurant are the best!
If you're catching a taxi, pick your lines wisely. Walk down the arrivals sidewalk outside and pick the shortest line. For some reason everyone converges at one place!
Alyssandra DochertyNovember 16, 2022The walk from the plane to customs is like 7 miles, but it's a nice airport!- Mohamed BarbaryJanuary 1, 2015The free WiFi saves you if ur a wind customer and you have no signal lol PS WiFi stays on after the airport closes
Kris Buda-haJune 14, 2013Excellent Customs and immigration service upon arrival- no lines and fast. Luggage storage in Samsonite store.
Michael WakemanMay 23, 2013All alcohol for sale is extremely overpriced. However, there is a liter of wine for sale for $11 (yea, these commies use the metric system here). Try to find it and save yourself some money.
Look up!!!!! See the big birds taking off and landing. If you're lucky you might see the A380.
Mikala SMarch 28, 2013For international flights, it's safest to lie about your departure time to ensure you make it through customs with time to spare.
James TJuly 18, 2019No NEXUS or Global Entry? Give yourself at least 2-3 hours for security if you’re heading into the US.
There's now a GoodLife Fitness in Terminal 1, just in case you didn't already feel fat in your vacation bikini...
Jonas WestinOctober 18, 2010Search Youtube for "Sofia Talvik Toronto Airport" for a great live performance from cool Swedish singer/songwriter Sofia Talvik in the strange round steel statue at the gates.
We can get flights to the United Kingdom direct flight
Grab a coffee on the way to get your baggage. This airport is notoriously slow in getting your bags to you.
Sam OlivaresAugust 15, 2017RUSH wrote a song called YYZ (Instrumental), which is the airport code for this airport.
The new offsite covered parking (I think it is called Viscount) is excellent, with a train that takes you to the terminal.
Fannie DeCariaSeptember 21, 2014Grab a Starbuck before you go to your gate.... it may be a long way back. lol
Never enough security lines open. Make sure you get here early enough before any flight.
Chris RichmondOctober 20, 2013Cheap food at Thai Express Term1 D area. Side white rice 1.50, free ice water
Daron YondemNovember 5, 2016Is that a Canadian thing or is it just the officers in this airport whispering instructions like it's a secret :)
Relatively cheap place to get water - Tim hortons. $1.50 for 500 mL bottle (at least for the one in terminal 1, gate 66).
