Toronto Airport (YYZ): Ontario's Gateway to the World!

Toronto Airport, or more correctly Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, is Ontario's main international airport, providing links with all the world's major destinations and a few that aren't so major too. It's about an hour out of Toronto to the north-west and has good coach and taxi links to the downtown core.

Terminal One, of Pearson's three terminals, is Air Canada's home base for overseas flights, Terminal 2 is Air Canada's domestic and over the border to the US flights (United Airlines flies from here too), while Terminal 3 serves major airlines such as British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Emirates, and American Airlines, as well as charter operators, such as Air Transat.

here's a link to Pearson airport's website for more details.

Pearson's terminal have shopping and restaurants for thoselast minute gifts you forgot to buy or for that last taste of Canadian beer, wine or Maple Syrup you can't resist.

The airport is well-served by major highways, as you'd expect. if you're planning to drive to it, or rent a car when you arrive at it, Hwy 409 takes you directly to or from the airport to Ontario's main east-west highway, the 401. Alternatively, the 409 will take you to 427 and the north. See our Getting About page for a description of Ontario's classes of roads.

Toronto's other airport is the Toronto Island Airport, which alsohas international flights to and from the US. More about that later.
