Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) Reviews
Newest Review: ... through no bother to get our taxi. On the way home we had to be at the Airport 3 hours before the flight. We could book our luggage in as soon as we arrived. Here you must watch the weight of your cases. They will not let you go an ounce over weight and a couple of people were in the middle of the floor sorting out their bags and putting on extra clothes to make them fit in the allowance. When you go through to the duty free area I think you will be very disappointed as it is so small and if you smoke you will find only 2 brands of cigarettes that you know of and a very small selection of cigarettes for sale as the Canadians just... more

On arriving in Toronto for a holiday we landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport. Dont worry if you are told you will arrive at Lester B Pearson or YYZ as this is all names for the same airport. The important thing is that it is 18 miles from here to Toronto We arrived on Air Canada so arrived at Terminal 1. To get from the plane to the terminal is quite fast as you have the slow moving escalator or the fast one which most of us went on and we were soon getting ready to show our passports. Here dont be surprised if you are asked a lot of questions, a lot more than we ever have been asked before. These questions were of the why come here, ... Read the complete review

I travelled to Toronto some time ago to visit family and the airport that we arrived in was Pearson International. I have to say this wasn't a particularly fantastic place. I found that it was old and there weren't enough seats anywhere, even at the departure gate. There was a cafe there which look extremely unclean and I didn't dare go in there. I think that the whole place needs a facelift. I think I only used terminal 1 but I don't think I would use the airport again and if I did I would try to arrive at a different terminal. Whilst I was waiting for the flight back to the UK, I over heard a complaint to someone about the baby changing facilities. ... Read the complete review

Remember to have Canadian dollar coins if you are flying into Toronto, and have bags to carry. The carts arent free here, and most of time the machines wont accept credit cards (Even though they all display Visa/MC/Amex signs). And there is no money change/ change machines (to get coins) in this area (at baggage claim). If you dont have coins, your option is get a porter who wants 20 bucks to carry your bag through the customs. It is a big rip-off (probably this is the case in major US airports as well, but the credit card machines works most of the time!) The other disadvantage in Pearson, is the long walk from the plane to the Immigration area. It would take ... Read the complete review

Recently I had the misfortune to fly into Pearson International Airport on a trip from Glasgow to Atlanta. Nothing wrong with the flight, or indeed with the view on the way in (Toronto looks like a beautiful city from the air, just on the edge of Lake Ontario). The airport itself is pretty grim, with lots of concrete in evidence. However I had been told about this, and even warned that there was lots of walking to do, but trust me you cannot prepare for the amount of walking ahead of you. However upon landing it seemed okay. Canadian immigration was very swift in processing us, and once we survived the bun-fight to get our bags customs was okay too. ... Read the complete review
