Bright, clean and spacious. Domestic and incoming flights are serviced fast. Transit to US works
slower. Payment for baggage card is a pain if you don't have canadian change or don't want to use
your credit card.

Since I'm based out of Toronto, I have the opportunity to fly from YYZ on a frequent basis.
Terminal 1 is a huge improvement form the old T1/T2 buildings but I find that it is visually
unappealing (or should I say a big white box). I enjoy the elements of Calgary and Vancouver
airports in that they have added a flair of local culture into the arrival experience - not Toronto,
what a shame, given that it is one of the most culturally diverse cities in North America.
Additionally, it has the worst baggage waits I've experienced in NA, including Miami, Orlando,
Chicago, etc.

Toronto Pearson has good things about it and bad things about it. Terminal 1 is very nice. Very big,
and easy to get around in. Arrivals and Canadian Customs are very easy to get through. The only bad
thing about Terminal 1 is that the group check-ins are on a lower level, so you have to go up and
down levels. Terminal 3 is a very simple layout. It is clean, and easy to get around in. Lots of
restaurants and shops.

The biggest problem with arriving at Toronto is baggage handling. In one recent experience at
Terminal 3, we arrived at YYZ at about 200 AM, already running late. We were exhausted, and just
wanted to get our bags and go home. The experience of waiting two hours for our bags was not a
pleasant one - and there were several other flights having the same experience at the same time. It
is my understanding that baggage handling at YYZ is centralized, and thus this problem is the
responsibility of the airport, rather than the airline. It isn't always this bad, but I have
noticed that baggage recovery at Toronto is a lot slower than other airports in Canada and the U.S.
I'm not a fan of people who drag huge bags onto aircraft rather than checking them, but if they're
flying through Toronto, I can understand why. The airport is otherwise pretty good, but they really
need to work on the baggage situation.

Departures and Arrivals (check in and baggage claim) are on different levels - like any airport the
gates are on the same level and domestic inbound walk along the same level as domestic outbound to
get to baggage claim and then go downstairs as is the case as any major North American airport. Just
follow the signs to baggage claim (inbound) or to the relevant gate (outbound). I find there is an
excellent selection for food and concessions, and Terminal One is already slated for future
expansion.

Toronto airport is no match compared to other airports. There aren't much shops and food to choose
from, so be sure to go grab some food before going to the airport. Going through security was slow
for both terminals and none of the staff gave smiles. T1 is especially confusing because departure
and arrivals use the same level. Signs for buses and other sorts of transportation are poor. The
overall layout and design of the airport is already a problem. Obviously planners did not put
future expansion in mind. overall design is confusing and inefficient. Which brings me to the
question, "Who on earth designed the airport?". Traveling to the airport is already confusing due
to the confusing highway system in Toronto.

Toronto New Terminal 1. I'm glad to see that signage has been updated and it's now very clear where
each passenger should go (international connections, domestic connections via the arriving
passengers route, and USA connections via USA Customs Pre-Clearance) as opposed to the previous
Customs A and Customs B signs. There were many international flights arriving at the same time but
all the Canada Customs lines were open and the experience was a breeze. Luggage reclaim was pretty
quick. The meeting and greeting hall was bright and plenty of elevators were available to shuttle
passengers up to the parking garage.

Connecting from Edmonton to Vienna and Back. Domestic area is great. Spacious, comfortable, and
pleasant. Long walk to international area, and it was difficult to find the hallway there.
International area boiling hot, as the sun was beating in through the glass wall. Food services
great, and nice duty free. Return - Huge line for customs, but we were sent through to US customs by
an agent I don't even think knew English! We ended up going through customs very quickly, ending at
a zoo of a baggage claim! Line to get out was 30 minutes- to exit the baggage claim area! We then
had to re-check in with Air Canada and to our surprise had to re-clear security! Security was quick,
and we were soon on our way. From arriving from vienna, to clearing domestic security, over 2 hours.

LHR to YYZ return. On arrival we were met by Canadian Border checks at the top of the jetty. Two
of them to deal with a 767 almost full - went very quickly and efficiently. Headed into the
immigration hall and again went through immigration, smooth and quick. At the carousels out luggage
appeared within 10 minutes of us arriving there. We landed and were in a taxi within 30 minutes,
flawless and superb service, a credit to Canada. On return we again cleared immigration/security
within 5 minutes. A fairly good choice of shops and bars. Only minor gripe was that the majority
of bars and shops closed at 10pm and our flight wasnt until 11.15pm. This is a great airport to
transit through and clear. The toilets were immaculately clean and I appreciated the facilities in
the toilets which were all infra red, no touching taps or dryers here!

YYZ-LGA over Christmas on AC out of Terminal 1. Got lucky that the New York flights use the first
gate areas so no long walk. Line-up at US Immigration going out was non-existent (a first) which
just meant a longer questioning (interrogation?) than normal. Returning the Canadian immigration
line was better than normal (why are there no lines dedicated to Canadian passport holders?).
Airport rating would be higher but for the usual excessive baggage claim wait. It was terrible
before they built the new terminal, it's still terrible, people complain all the time on this site
and nothing seems to happen to improve it. Too bad, it let's the airport down.

I think Toronto has the slowest baggage claim of any airport where 45 minutes is the typical wait
time. Flying to the US from Terminal 3 was an even worse experience. At 12pm there was only 1 US
customs official working, resulting in a 1.5 hour wait in line just to clear US customs. Toronto has a
beautiful airport, now they have to improve the level of service and efficiency if it is to emerge as
an international gateway into North America.

Traveled through Terminal 1. Took over 40 minutes to get through Security. A totally disorganized
shambles and an abuse of customers. Several aisles were closed and we were instructed to go into what
turned out to be the wheelchair aisle. In that one regular passengers are ignored when a wheelchair or
pushchair arrives adding to the mayhem. Just not good enough for Canada's premier airport.
Toronto Airport review by Justin Tsui
23 October 2007 Customer Rating : 
I usually fly out of Terminal 3. Despite the fact that it is almost 17 years old, it is a good
terminal. Designwise, it is simple. Nice to have Swiss Chalet there, because the other fast food
restaurant is not so good. Weber's burgers is actually quite impressive though. It's a must try if you
like Charbroiled burgers. The downside of YYZ all in all is the incredibly expensive airfare,
especially going south of the border. If I want to fly to New York, for example, sometimes, it's
better just to take VIA Rail! Or else drive to BUF. If I am flying on a reward ticket, I will fly out
of Toronto. If I am flying a revenue flight, I am glad I have other low-cost options.

Arrived at YYZ from Hong Kong at about 18:20. The trek from the aircraft to customs/immigration was
not that bad and compares to that of similar sized airports such as Changi (Singapore) or Chek Lap Kok
(Hong Kong), my "home town". Signage was inadequate and confusing. However I had visited the Toronto
Airport website in advance and gleaned a fair idea of the route to take. Customs/Immigration was very
efficient and cleared within a matter of minutes. So far, so good, I thought; now where's the problem?
The answer was at the baggage claim carousel. They were only about half the size of something in a
regional airport. As the bags were spewed out of the depths of Pearson, the belt had to stop due to
overload. Trolleys were attracted to the belt (think iron-filings and a magnet), this made it
difficult to retrieve luggage, even when the belt did move. Total time from disembarking to standing
outside the terminal was about 55 minutes. Not too bad in my book.

Pearson terminal 3 is clean and smart. Security quick to get through and staff courteous and

Lester B Pearson Terminal 1 is a nice airport - well designed - clean and efficient. There did seem to
be a long walk from the gate to exit (and check in to gate) but the place wasn't rammed like Heathrow,
and it was a pleasure to walk around, and there were ample travelators. Good to arrive at such a
terminal, after the madhouse that is Heathrow.
Toronto Airport review by A Johnson
9 August 2007 Customer Rating : 
I am a huge fan of Toronto's new Terminal 1. If you are flying Air Canada or another Star Alliance
airline, almost all of your flights are now under one roof, which streamlines connections. The
frustrating bus rides between terminals are now largely a thing of the past. If you are transiting
from the United States to an international destination, you pass through a special in-transit passport
check, which rarely has any lines. On your way back to the United States, you don't clear Canadian
customs at all, since you are deposited directly into the U.S. pre-clearance facility. I appreciate
the ability to pre-clear customs, since you can just leave the airport or go to your next flight once
you land back in the States. The terminal itself is bright, spotless, and spacious. While shopping
options might not rise to the level of Heathrow, I have found the number and variety of restaurants
and stores (including duty-free) to be perfectly sufficient. Air Canada's Maple Leaf Lounges are
luxurious places to kill time before your flight.

I recently flew out of Terminal using Air Canada to London Heathrow.
Having never been there before I was disappointed (given the amount of
time I had to kill) on the lack of facilities airside at T1 compared to
T3 at Heathrow where I'd flown out of originally. That said, it was nice
and clean, being new although I can understand why people complain about
the walk. Although, on return to T3 at Heathrow, the walk to customs and
baggage reclaim was just as far.
Toronto Airport review by M Bohun
22 June 2007 Customer Rating : 
I travel to and from Pearson airport from La Guardia in New York
regularly. The new terminals are a significant improvement on the old
ones. Be aware that if you are travelling to a US airport you will
undergo preclearance in Toronto, it is advisable to allow plenty of
time, especially if you expect to have to undergo secondary clearance.
You can expect to undergo secondary clearance if you have to have a visa
validated or issued (other than the Visa Waiver Program), or have
advance parole to travel during an application for a change of status.
If you are expecting to undergo secondary clearance, arrive at the
airport no later than three hours before your scheduled departure time.
The CBP officers have always been courteous and efficient with me,
however, there are always a lot of people waiting to undergo secondary
clearance, and never enough officers to deal with them. Getting
impatient with the officers does not speed the process. When you enter
the secondary clearance area hand your folder to the officer manning the
counter then sit down and wait until your name is called. Cellphone use
is prohibited here, and you should not use an MP3 player as you won't
hear your name being called. Bring a book or magazine and settle down
for a long wait. If you are traveling on Air Canada, they send an agent
through periodically to check names against flights, they will rebook
you so don't worry about missing your flight. Remember, whilst you are
in preclearance you are still in Canada and are free to leave at any
time - unless the CBP preclearance people think you've deliberately lied
to them in which case they can detain you and hand you over to the RCMP.
Toronto Airport review by Martin Keenan
6 June 2007 Customer Rating : 
It's the nearest major airport to me and I use it a lot, generally
without trouble. One significant difference for me is that as a local,
I never have to transfer between flights there, and that may mean that I
don’t encounter some of the more frustrating experiences that Toronto
has to offer. People should keep in mind that Toronto was under almost
non-stop construction between 1998 and early 2007. During this time the
airport closed and demolished two old terminals, opened a huge new
terminal in three stages, added a monorail to connect new Terminal 1 and
Terminal 3, built 2 new runways, and vastly increased the number of
taxiways. During the same period of time, Air Canada consolidated a lot
of its operations at Toronto, swallowed its major rival, underwent and
emerged from bankruptcy, and entered the post-9/11 world of flying.
While all this was going on, Toronto remained the busiest airport in
Canada, and through Star Alliance, become a major international hub.
This sounds like it would be a recipe for chaos at the best of times,
and at times it has been. During this time, Air Canada/Star Alliance
was operating out of at least two and sometimes three different
terminals, including the forty year old original Terminal 1 and the
temporary outfield terminal. This made for a lot of changes between
terminals, and added to delays and passenger frustration. The changes
have finished for now, leaving Toronto with a brand new Terminal 1 that
handles Air Canada/Star Alliance traffic, and Terminal 3 to handle the
rest of the traffic. The completion of Terminal 1 now means that Air
Canada flights to/from the United States are now in the same terminal as
the domestic and international flights, which should make transfers
faster and more straightforward. One thing that the end of construction
won’t change is cost – Pearson has some of the highest landing fees in
the world, and it shows in the price of a ticket to or from Toronto.
Many Ontarians flying to the United States and Americans flying to
Toronto use Buffalo airport instead, as the combination of lower landing
fees, reduced TSA fees on domestic U.S. flights and stiffer competition
within the U.S. often makes for much cheaper fares. However, the costs
don’t seem to be driving much traffic away, so I would not expect much
to change on that score. I’ve been lucky with hundreds of flights to or
from Toronto, and never had a bad experience there. Travelling through
Toronto airport does involve a lot of walking, as many people have
commented – at least new Terminal 1 features lots of people movers to
help this out a bit. Golf carts (or whatever they’re called) are
available for the mobility impaired. My only complaints about Toronto
are the fact that the new terminal doesn’t feature a viewing area for
the airplane nut (in contrast to old Terminal 1, which was one of the
best airplane spotting locations in the world), and that traffic on
Toronto’s highway system frequently makes the airport difficult to
reach, despite it being well connected to the Toronto freeway network.

Toronto Airport review by Phil Sagar
9 January 2007
I fly through terminal 3 mostly when travelling to Toronto from the UK.
Over the past few years there has been very little change in regards to
building extensions, however on my recent visit, work is now being
carried out on arrivals areas and it looked promising. The major
headache is the amount of distance that passengers need to walk to get
from the aircraft to customs and I hope this will be looked at while the
alterations continue. The customs officers are always very efficient
together with security personnel. Baggage collection can be ok and it
really depends on who has landed in front or behind you regarding
waiting time on the carousel. Trolley carts still have to be paid for.
When I returned to the terminal 3 to depart back to the UK, it was quiet
as most passengers had already left to go home days earlier.
Toronto Airport review by Sachin Bhagotra
9 January 2007
As a Toronto resident, I hate flying back to Toronto just for the fact
that the walk from the aircraft to the customs is just never-ending.
Secondly, the amount charged for the use of a cart at the airport is
just outrageous, and there is no guarantee that you will get the
promised money back. There are no change machines where people can get
change for the carts. It is just shameful when you see people visiting
from other countries scrambling to get change for the carts. Other
world-class airports don't charge passengers for carts, only at Toronto
the price of using a cart goes up every year. I agree with Matthew
Holmes about the eating options at the Departures, and the service time
at the Tim Horton's at Terminal 3 being the slowest amongst all Tim
Horton's branches. You might miss your flight if you wait to fulfill
your craving of a Tim Horton's double double coffee before a vacation
being away from Canada. Overall, Toronto is long way from being
functionally world-class. Structurally, they are getting there.
Toronto Airport review by Matthew Holmes
7 October 2006
I've flown into and out of YYZ about 10 times since May for business and
pleasure, using mostly Terminal 1 and Terminal 3, depending on whether I
fly with Air Canada or Westjet respectively. T1 is a far more enjoyable
experience with wide open concourses both before and after going through
security. The LINK shuttle bus between T2 and T3 is efficient and
clearly marked, making transfers between them easy. Have yet to try the
LINK train between T1 and T3. T3 is ok before security, but after going
through security its the pits. There's hardly any space for passengers
between the security and the gate areas, so there's always a crowd of
people to weave through. The eating options are few and far between as
well. The line up at the Tim Horton's is always long (10-15 minute wait
usually) and the staff are incredibly slow and inefficient. Of all the
Tim Horton's I've been to this has by far the worst service. The line
ups may in part be due to the fact that I usually fly around 6-7PM and
many commuter and long haul overnight flights to Europe are departing.
Regardless, its fairly sad when all you want is a cup of coffee and a
sandwich and for many tourists leaving Toronto this is their last
impression of our country.
Toronto Airport review by Nathan Fotheringill
16 September 2006
Terminal Three is not the greatest place in which to start your Canadian
holiday. We were the second flight to arrive before the afternoon rush
commenced and the terminal was pretty deserted. However, it still took
the best part of an hour to collect the bags as they decided to utilise
the same belt as the first flight to have arrived which was a full 747
from Seoul. The other seven belts remained idle until they started
delivering the bags of the flights that had arrived after us. This is
just a tad frustrating after a long haul flight. As far as departure was
concerned, Terminal Three is nothing special but better than some other
North American gateway airports. The staff, however, are a generally
cheerless bunch contrasting greatly with virtually everyone else you
meet in Canada. We also utilised Terminal One which was a more pleasant
environment in which to pass the time. The staff were no better, though.
Toronto Airport review by Gary Docherty
12 September 2006
Terminal 3, very long walk from plane to customs, very unfriendly and
slow staff at customs (which seems to be the norm for Toronto Airport
anytime I have flown in there over the last 20 years). Luggage came
through quickly but chaos ruled at every turn when trying to leave the
luggage retrieval area, all flights having to pass through a narrow
dirty hallway with no control or assistance from airport staff (who just
leaned against a wall watching) is just silly. Very poor first
impression of a very nice country. Return flight at midnight, most
shops close at 9:30 - but they had a decent selection and some things
were actually cheaper on the land side than post security. Swiss chalet
gives good quick service at reasonable price for an airport restaurant.
Very little shopping or food outlets post security, only place open at
10pm ws Tim Hortons and the bins were overflowing with rubbish and the
tables were flithy and not one had been cleared of the previous
customers rubbish. All in all a very poor airport considering it is the
major airport for Ontario and first impression of Canada for visitors. A
country that is very friendly and clean deserves to have an airport that
reflects this.

In line with prices in Canada in general, the prices in the eating
places groundside at T3 in YYZ seem to have really gone up since my last
visit just 10 months ago. I remember posting on this site a couple of
years ago that I thought the prices were reasonable for an airport - not
any more. Otherwise, T3 has barely changed, although YYZ overall is
simply not recognisable today from the airport I used to fly in and out
of almost weekly years ago. The new monorail was supposed to be working
( cable operated!), but apparently is having teething problems.

Recently flew from Pearson to Glasgow. On our way out, the airport was
extremely busy. It took us a good hour to get through check in and
security. This was a Wednesday evening. On our arrival home, we noticed
how surly and unfriendly Toronto Airport workers were (in contrast to
Glasgow, where everyone is happy and helpful). Why are Pearson workers
so gloomy and unhelpful? Everything seems like a 'chore'. We cannot
figure this out. We are Canadians ourselves and think we are fairly

We used YYZ Terminal 3 in an out of Toronto 25 March/ 27 March. On both
visits the staff and system was swift and efficient. We were checked
through immigration and customs within 45 minutes. On our return the
check in was quick and polite as was the security screening. The only
criticism of terminal 3 would be the relative lack of choice in retail
outlets airside.
Toronto Airport review by Robert Moriyam
25 March 2006
The weirdness described for International flights was probably due to
delayed flights and overall heavy traffic volumes forcing unusual gate
assignments. Normally, an Alitalia flight would arrive at the Infield
Terminal (a satellite with no check-in, baggage claim, etc.), NOT at
Terminal 2, and the passengers would be bused to Terminal 1 (where
Alitalia's check-in and other facilities are based) for Canadian Customs
processing and baggage claim. Connections to the U.S. on Air Canada
complicate things, because Air Canada service to the U.S. operates out
of Terminal 2, necessitating another bus ride. By early next year,
Terminal 2 will be closed, ALL Air Canada service will be based in
Terminal 1 (including both U.S. and International flights), and most if
not all International flights for other airlines will be on newly-opened
Terminal 1 gates. This will make the process described much less
complicated.
Toronto Airport review by Rich Jenkins
6 January 2006
Perhaps things will improve when the rest of the new terminal opens - in
the meantime, this is a confusing airport with poor signage, limited
diversions and lots of unnecessary walking. The procedures for
passengers coming from overseas destinations to the US are confusing. In
reality, you pick-up your bags in Terminal 2, but this isn't mentioned
anywhere and the one announcement for onward passengers to the US would
have been helpful if it told them not to wait for bags in the cavernous
Terminal 1 baggage claim area. The Terminal 1 baggage facility is
enormous, and necessitates a lot of walking (as does practically
everything in this airport --it was clearly a burden for elderly folks,
those with children and those with a lot of bags). The areas for
retrieving oversized luggage are a nice idea but aren't marked as such,
and the customer service is a long way from everything. One can figure
out how to get out, but little information of any kind is displayed in
the baggage area. The Terminal 2 areas for US-bound passengers are a
mess. This appears to be a synergy between the ineptitude of the US
govt, Air Canada, and the airport management. Nothing is well labeled,
procedures are not well described, and forms are difficult to find (they
are supposed to be provided on the shuttle bus from Terminal 1). The
luggage machines were not operating and three different people from
three different authorities gave different instructions for the
immigration area. Food service is limited in both Terminal 1 & Terminal
2, with few other diversions. The phone banks in the new terminal are
either near rest rooms or televisions that broadcast CBC news at high
volume (shades of annoying CNN broadcasts at US airports like
Atlanta's). The airport seems to be filled with design flaws that will
be difficult to mitigate. I was impressed at the large number of staff
who seem to have little to do. The whole place seems like a boondoggle.
Toronto Airport review by Randy Schoeneck
3 January 2006
My family flew through the Toronto airport for our first time on New Year's day flight back to the
United States from Italy. Our flight into YYZ was on Alitalia and out of YYZ was supposed to be on
Air Canada. International flights arrive at terminal 2. Passengers are then are bused to terminal 1 for Canadian
immigration/Customs and bags are retrieved. Then, of course another bus back to terminal 2 for US
Customs and the flight back to the U.S. I had no idea the process for managing international flights especially for U.S. passengers at the
Toronto was so poor. Due to the delays in moving between terminals and retrieving bags, we missed
our connecting flight on Air Canada. Air Canada, had no idea what to do about it in order to get my
family home that day. We needed to walk over to United who were able to figure out how to get us
home the same day. For U.S. international travelers, having to retrieve bags and go through canadian customs before
going through U.S. customs adds a level of complexity and delay especially when you have to take
buses between terminals to do it. For my future travel plans I will avoid Toronto for Internation
travel as a hub.

I found the new Terminal 1 to be a pleasant place, it's so much better
than the old one where I had to wait for up to 3 hours to pass customs
and immigration. The new terminal is airy with lots of windows to have a
look out. The only bad thing is the Infield Terminal they use for the
international flights except the ones to the USA. I live in Germany and
so I had to use it as the flight to Frankfurt leaves from there. You
have to use a bus to connect between the two terminals and the bus rides
takes some 20minutes. I look forward when the new terminal will be
completely finished and all Air Canada and Star Alliance flights leave from there.

My elderly parents-in -law (80+) have just returned from Toronto and
have relayed to me that my efforts here in the UK to ensure that they
were escorted everywhere they went in the three airports they used were
met with the exception of Pearson Airport, Toronto. The usual surly,
unhelpful & really quite unhappy staff still abound. They were escorted,
yes, but in a very unhelpful manner and were literally dumped by the
lifts and left to fend for themselves. I have noticed this surly
attitude when travelling through Toronto myself and have to ask the
question "What makes Toronto airport staff so unhappy that it reflects
in the manner in which they treat the public?" Canadians generally are a
very helpful and understanding people.

Toronto Airport review by A Abdullah
6 September 2005
I recently went through Terminal 2 at Toronto International. I have never seen such
unhelpful staff. I had a luggage cart that was over flowing with 3 suitcases, a roll
away and 2 booster seats. The suitcases fell off the cart, but nobody offered to
help. Air Canada staff were too busy chatting with each other to help. One fellow
was looking at my stuff but did not offer to help. Once I went through US customs, I
had to put my luggage on the x-ray machine, again no one offered to help, then I had
to unload the suitcases on to the belt; again no help was offered. Everybody was
looking, but not even one of the staff offered to help me put my heavy suitcases onto
the belt. The staff at the airport just seemed as if they did not care, they were
there just to stand and look! The only redeeming quality of that terminal was the
customs officer. She was very pleasant and friendly!
