Toronto Pearson International Airport YYZCYYZ

Toronto Pearson (YYZ) is Canada’s busiest airport and Air Canada’s primary global hub, with a broad domestic, U.S. transborder and long-haul international network. It also has significant service from WestJet, Porter, Air Transat and many foreign carriers, so it functions as both a Canadian connecting hub and Toronto’s main intercontinental gateway. The airport has two active passenger terminals, Terminal 1 and Terminal 3; flights are organized mainly by airline/alliance rather than simply by domestic vs international. For downtown Toronto, the most reliable default is UP Express from Terminal 1 to Union Station, taking about 28 minutes and running frequently through most of the day. Connections can be smooth on single-carrier itineraries, especially Air Canada in Terminal 1, but build extra time when changing terminals, clearing Canadian immigration, or departing to the U.S. through preclearance.
