Pro Tips
- The UP Express is excellent — straightforward, comfortable, and much cheaper than a taxi to downtown.
- YYZ is a major US-Canada border crossing point; US pre-clearance immigration is done at the airport (T1 international side) before departure.
- Terminal 3 is older but functional; Terminal 1 is more modern — confirm your terminal when booking.
- Air Canada's Maple Leaf Lounge is good but often crowded at peak times; arrive early to secure a seat.
- NEXUS (Canada/US trusted traveler program) speeds up both US pre-clearance at YYZ and US CBP on the US side.
- Toronto's downtown core has the CN Tower, Ripley's Aquarium, and Rogers Centre — worth a visit if connecting.
- Peak summer (July–August) and holiday periods see the highest traffic at YYZ — arrive 2.5 hours early for US flights with pre-clearance.
