Toronto Pearson International (YYZ) is the busiest airport in Canada and one of the most-connected in North America with 195+ non-stop destinations. It's Air Canada's main hub and a key Star Alliance connection point in North America.
What YYZ does well
Long-haul into Europe and Asia, plus dense US transborder service. Air Canada operates a serious global network from YYZ, including direct flights to cities that aren't well-served from US East Coast airports. The US Customs preclearance facility at Terminal 1 is a major strategic asset for travelers heading to the United States — you arrive in the US as a domestic passenger.
Terminals
- Terminal 1 — Air Canada and Star Alliance partners. The newer, larger terminal.
- Terminal 3 — oneworld and SkyTeam partners, plus several non-aligned carriers.
Connection tips
Inter-terminal connections require the LINK Train (free, takes 10 minutes). Allow 90 minutes for international-to-international connections involving a terminal change. US-bound passengers should add extra time for preclearance.
