    The busiest airport in Canada, YYZ is the gateway to the GTA. It currently has three terminals, & the new Terminal One will eventually replace the existing T 1 & 2.

    Canadian carriers now based at YYZ include Air Canada, Canjet, Westjet, Zoom Airlines, Jetsgo, HMY Airlines & Air Transat.

    Other airlines that fly to YYR include:

    Terminal One: Alitalia, Austrian Airlines, BMI, Lufthansa, Mexicana, Royal Jordanian, SAS Scandinavian Airline, Singapore Airlines, Spanair S.A., Thai Int'l Airways, Varig Brazil

    Terminal Two: Air New Zealand, United Airlines

    Terminal Three: Aeroflot Russian, Aeromexico, Aerosvit Airlines, Air France, Air Plus Comet, Alaskian Airlines, America West Airlines, AA, American Eagle, British Airways, BWIA West Indies Awys, Cathay Pacific, Chautauqua Airlines, Comair, Continental Airlines, Cubana Airlines, Czech Airlines, Delta, EL AL, Finnair, First Air, IBeria Airlines, Japan Airlines, KLM, Korean Air, TACA, Lan Chile, LOT polish Airlines, LTU Int'l Airways, Malev Hungarian, martinair Holland, Mesa Airlines, Mesaba Airlines, Miami Air Int'l, Midwest COnnect, My travel Airways, NorthWest Airlines, Olympic Airlines S.A., Pace Airlines, Pakistan Int'l, Piedmont, Pinnacle Aviation, PSA Airlines, Qantas, SATA Int'l, Skyservice, US Airways

    The airport is not really hard to navigate, & in size, they are nothing compared to Los Angeles International (LAX), so for an experienced traveller, getting around YYZ will be a piece of cake.

    Customs to USA currently is much slower than International destinations, so beware and make sure you leave more time.

    Currently at YYZ, the airport improvement fee is $12.00 for outbound passengers & $ 8.00 for connecting passengers. NAVCAN surcharges is $24.00 per round-trip ticket, or $12.00 for a one-way ticket. For stopovers, $7.50 each way or $15.00 (CAD) per round-trip is charged. There is also a ATSC (Air Travellers Security Charge) to a maximum of $24.00 for foreign destinations & $14.00 for domestic travel.

  • The Pearson International Airport is the busiest airport in Canada, handling 26 million passengers in 2002. 50 airlines from all over the world serve the airport.

    There are currently 3 terminals, with the new Terminal 1 being the newest. This new terminal is definitely larger, brighter and very modern. The old Terminal 1 and 2 will be demolished in the future.

    The best way to get to the airport if you don't drive or can't get a ride from someone is to hire a taxi. The fare is fixed based on zones. It is $39 to the downtown core, for example. There are also bus routes to the airport, but it's really a hassle if you have a large luggage.

    Air Canada is a Canadian airline with the largest full-service airline and provides the world's most comprehensive air transportation network. I have flown with this airline many times and their service is just excellent, hence, it is considered as the 14th largest commercial airline in the world. No wonder, this airline won multiple awards and one of them is the Best Airlines in North America

    One thing I believe why Air Canada still exist is because of its fares with optional features like lounge access, in-flight meal vouchers, checked in baggage , and most especially the aeroplan miles points. I, myself, is a frequent flyer of Air Canada.

    Our plane

    We flew from BWI to Toronto on Sunday June 6, 1999 in the afternoon on this little plane. (DASH-8). I noted that the other side of the plane was in French. (Ville de...) I thought it was funny that the plane was called "The City of Harrisburg" because I associate Harrisburg with Pennsylvania.

    They took us by shuttle into the airport where I suddenly remembered that I'd left my coat on the plane. This set a precident for the whole trip as I later left my bag and my camera on various buses. I got everything back. The Air Canada personnel helped me get my coat, and the bus drivers were also very helpful.

    When we went by the airport in the tour boat, she told us that there were buoys off the end of the runway where boats were prohibited from going. That's because the space over the water is included in the runway. (The plane is supposed to be off the ground but not very far off, so it might run into a boat superstructure or mast.) There were huge fines for venturing into the space that is buoyed off.

    This is not Pearson International Airport - I don't know the name of it. I suppose it is just for little commuter planes.

    Toronto Pearson International Airport is located 27 km northwest of downtown Toronto. The Airport Express buses connect the airport with downtown Toronto every 20 mins. The public transit system (TTC) is also an option, but be prepared for a long journey. The advantage: It is really cheap and you get an interesting overview of the city.

  • I really don't like writing a negative tip, but my experience with Air Canada was straight out of a Saturday Night Live sketch.

    I have never had to fly somewhere SO close and encounter SO MANY problems.
    566 miles as the bird flies from Boston to Toronto. Shouldn't be that big of a problem, right? That's what I thought, until the jolly folks at Air Canada proved otherwise.

    Not only was my flight delayed 3 times getting to Toronto due to "mechanical issues"...but then I was delayed at *least* 4 times trying to get BACK to Boston due to "mechanical issues". I realized I wasn't going to get home that night so I rescheduled for the next day.

    As I was getting rescheduled the employees called out:

    "We can't find the plane??"
    "Where is the crew? They are missing!"
    "Do we have any idea when it will be leaving, if at all?"

    I was in shock that they would even show their incompetence so loudly in front of a slew of angry customers.

    I left that night with a written note on a ripped piece of printer paper as my "new" ticket for the next day and prayed that they would know what what was written on it and that I wouldn't be stuck here for the rest of my life.

    The next day:

    "Oh you were on that cancelled flight?"...yes, apparently so.

    I stood at the desk for a good 45 minutes trying to check in because not only could the employee not find my new booking, but I was also told that I would probably have to go to another terminal, get some ridiculous receipt from another airline (apprently they were in some cahoots with them) and bring it back so that they could get paid.

    What?

    Nevermind.

    I don't care.

    Right before my new flight was about to board, the flights at nearby gates to Baltimore and Detroit were delayed for 1 hour and 1.5 hours respectively, due to...you guessed it:

    Mechanical issues

    3 delays getting to Toronto
    4 delays leaving Toronto
    1 cancellation
    5 incompenent employees...

    NEVER HAVING TO FLY AIR CANADA AGAIN: Priceless

    Although there are only 3 subway lines in Toronto it seemed to be the best way to get almost everywhere. But buses and streetcars are really comfortable and not overcrowded (like in Warsaw for instance). Metro Pass (lasts for a month) cost me 88$ (CAD) in 2000, now it might be slightly more expensive. If you decide not to buy it - remember to take transfer tickets while getting off a bus, a streetcar or leaving a subway station - otherwise you'll have to use up another ticket when you take another mean of transportation in the same direction(transfer allows you to take several lines to get to your destination paying just once).
