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.
Reena B-SJune 10, 2015Travelling home from the US with a connection in YYZ? Consider a longer connection - customs & baggage re-claim system adds extra time & confusion to an already confusing and poorly designed terminal.
Get a nexus. Worth the hassle of the paperwork. Its like being vip at wonderland....skip ahead of lines.
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
Mike SchwedeAugust 7, 2012East your last great spare ribs before departing from Canada at Casey's Bici near Gate E73. Yummi.
Grace CatindoyDecember 27, 2019Waiting louge is so comfy here! It is also surrounded by souvenir shops
Free wi-fi and you can clear US customs from this end to avoid the crazy lineup in Miami. \o/
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!
Jean WoodsJanuary 16, 2017Read the fine print on flights when booking United Airlines to Toronto. It is usually Air Canada.
Jon DarveauDecember 28, 2012Customs can take FOREVER to get through here, so book plenty of time if you have to clear customs before departure.
Yonas H.July 31, 2019The easiest way into town is taking the UP train. It’s affordable and FAST. Don’t waste time with taxis or Uber.
Terminal three is going cashless in most restaurants. Be warned!
Henry KoOctober 1, 2012If you're going to the US with baggage check in, you better come early. They combine all US destinations in one lane. Long wait!!
Brandon LooSeptember 16, 2014If you're international bound, mind the gate on your ticket. It may say B gates when it really means A.
Terminal 3 flyers beware: one of the gates is under construction so they have been funneling 3 gates into 2 making for really long security lineups
Show up 25 hours before your flight to be safe. Also the rental car return in on the lower level of Terminal 1.
Kotak Mahindra BankMay 3, 2012Airport Offer - Kotak Royale Visa Signature Credit Card members get 2 free accesses/ calendar qrtr wth complimntry food & beverage. Lounges at Domestic and International Departures Term 1,3 T&C apply. Read more
Bradford NewmanOctober 4, 2012If you have an Amex Platinum or similar Amex status card, flash it at the Cloud 10 entrance at Security Line and fly on through, you need to flash the platinum plastic tho
Maple Leaf lounges is the way to spend time while waiting for connecting flight. Far mor quiet and relaxing then hanging out at the Airport :)
BonDecember 24, 2018When connecting to another Canadian destination from the US, you go through customs and have to go back in through security. Inefficient much Toronto?
Daniel FAugust 7, 2014The ordering tablets seem to fail at ordering but you can still charge your stuff at them. There are even USB ports integrated.
Mohamed BarbaryJanuary 1, 2015International arrivals is parking G lol if u park anywhere else ur in for a walk
- 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.
When going through security, if you're lucky enough to receive a pat down be sure to say "that was good for me. Was it good for you?" With a smile on your face
Relatively cheap place to get water - Tim hortons. $1.50 for 500 mL bottle (at least for the one in terminal 1, gate 66).
What can I say? It's an airport. Pretty nice looking, ample seating etc.
Never understand why people swarm the counter before boarding has been called. Upgrades are predetermined and seat selection should have already been done
If you're going to the US regularly, take customs forms & fill out in advance to avoid the chaos before customs!
Felicia Z.July 30, 2011Free wifi is good for when you miss your plane because they have 1 line handling security for every 644678421389 person.
Jackson GallagherSeptember 26, 2014The US border pre clearance area is fantastic! I got through so fast.
James TJuly 18, 2019No NEXUS or Global Entry? Give yourself at least 2-3 hours for security if you’re heading into the US.
If you have an item that doesn't make it past security, you can have it shipped to you, or stored at the Airport.
If you're on an AC flight, watch The Grand Seduction user Canadian Films. Really great film.
Paul BruggerJune 10, 2013Tweet @FlightStatus with your flight number and get real-time Twitter flight updates. Remember to "like" this tip :) please.
When going through the Nexus Lane at Security they have changed it and you do need to take out your laptop.
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.
