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.
Eva YungJune 17, 2013With nexus, your time through custom cuts to 20-30min even on the busiest Monday morning!
If you are @ terminal one and have a gate in the 200's get you walking shoes on. Ten minutes from security.
Alex ZhdanovSeptember 27, 2015hello guys Beautiful parks and beaches entice a trip to the small group of islands in Lake Ontario. Ferries take you from the foot of Bay Street to the about 3 km off the port located Toronto Beaches.
Ben McCordOctober 31, 2012Dear people pulling out from the airport. You are not on the 401 yet so travelling 140 in a 60 zone is a bit ambitious.
Adam NowekJanuary 15, 2016Awful airport. Food and drinks are insanely overpriced. Difficult to get to if you don't want to pay for the similarly overpriced train from the city.
Here's a tip. Fly through Montreal for US flights if you can...unless you're into sitting in a big empty room waiting for your name to popup on a tiny screen.
Marc RichardsonMarch 5, 2013Don't fort to put your booze from another country into your suitcase when flyin domestically afterwords or they will TAKe IT
Gate D Terminal 1 has a downstairs security lineup. No line on the busiest travel day of the year=win
If you're connecting to the usa, don't forget step 1!
Use the lower security (Connections/No Checked Baggage) in Terminal 1 if you can - way faster!
Got an iPhone? Good then you don't need to print your boarding pass. It's 2012 people
Josh 🌶☢August 21, 2022Tip for surviving the worst airport: embrace premeditatio malorum, the practice of considering future evils. Plan on 2hr delay and missed connection. Then, when it's only a 1hr delay, life is good.
Cindy RobbinsApril 9, 2010US flights have their own security, make sure to use the bathroom before, it took me 1.5 hrs to get through. Also, there are limited dining options once through.
Typical Canadian efficiency, this is the WORST AIRPORT EVER! Do something about the infrastructure. The waiting at the security is just insane!
Mark GarciaMarch 10, 2013Moved through customs pretty fast! No problem with herbs and spices here...
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.
International Security keeps changing their location. Get your act together #GTAA!
To use the free wi-fi, you have to open up a browser window and agree to the t&c. And then you're all set.
Sam OlivaresAugust 15, 2017RUSH wrote a song called YYZ (Instrumental), which is the airport code for this airport.
American Express opened a lounge for their card members. Nice for anyone traveling other than AC.
Slowest luggage carousel in the civilized world. 1/2 after flight landed and still no luggage. Next time try carry on only or use the island airport.
Traveling to the US? Need a cheap phone? They sell the Roam Mobility phones here...only $50!
One of the best places in Toronto to catch planes to different countries
Not a ton of food options for those traveling on US carriers. Better off eating before if you can.
The duty free at Terminal 1 is terrible. Don't count on getting any great deals here. Having a Starbucks right at the entrance though is nice.
Terminal 3 has notoriously slow baggage handling. If at all possible, avoid checked baggage when travelling to or through this airport, especially terminal 3.
Anthony MeadeJanuary 24, 2013Get here early. This place is a maze and takes forever to get from rental car drops to the terminals. Customs wait is really long and slow.
I can recommend the pad Thai at casey's. Terminal 1 between gates 173 & 174
