Toronto Pearson Airport Parking

Which terminal

Toronto Pearson has two terminals: Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. Terminal 2 was closed in 2007, but YYZ kept the original names to prevent confusion. Both terminals handle domestic, international and trans-border journeys, with flights from each building organized according to airline alliances, rather than routes.

YYZ is a hub for Air Canada and WestJet, as well as being a focus city for Air Transat and Sunwing Airlines. Shuttle buses are on hand to provide a link between terminals.

The airlines currently offering public flights to and from Toronto Pearson Airport can be found on the Toronto Pearson Airport website.

Every Union Pearson Express train offers easy access for disabled passengers and plenty of storage space, while free WiFi is also available onboard.

On weekdays, this service runs intermittently from 4:56am, with buses arriving every 10 minutes from 5:29am until 2:11am the next day. On Saturdays, the 192 bus runs from 5:18am until 2:15am and operates on Sundays from 8:00am until 2:15am.

The Terminal 3 Pet Zone is located on the Arrivals level outside Door A. Each Pet Zone features synthetic grass and they are strictly non-smoking areas.

Both terminals handle domestic and international flights

Explore Canadian culture and history

Toronto Pearson Airport is home to a number of art and history exhibits. In the Permanent Collection, you can take a close look at spectacular pieces from artists all over the world. The collection was commissioned to highlight YYZ’s role as one of North America’s major flight hubs.

The Changing Exhibitions, which are dotted throughout both YYZ terminals, showcase a mixture of items from Canadian and North American art, history and popular culture. At different times, the exhibitions feature collections of toys and props from popular films, among many other fascinating items.

There's something for young minds to enjoy at the airport, too, particularly if your kids are interested in dinosaurs. Different locations across Canada have seen many great dinosaur discoveries and YYZ pays tribute to its archaeologists by displaying the bones of dinosaurs in Terminal 1.

Treat yourself to a manicure on the move

The :10 Minute Manicure outlet is an on-site mini spa offering a range of quick treatments to help you feel refreshed for your flight. Whether you just want to relax with some time to spare before check-in or you need to look your best before getting down to business, you can come to this chain outlet for your choice of massages, manicures, pedicures, teeth whitening, hair care and more.

Enjoy a mix of cosmopolitan cuisine

With its dark red booths and track-mark designs on the floor, the Red Rocket restaurant pays tribute to Toronto’s streetcars (trams), while its international menu reflects the city’s deeply cosmopolitan culture. For example, Ontario is home to Canada’s highest concentration of Greeks and the chicken souvlaki on the menu is testament to this. For a true taste of Toronto, mix these skewers with classic American fries or your choice of the many other items on the grab-and-go menu.

Stock up in time to travel

Whether you need to pick up some essential items you’ve forgotten in your rush to YYZ, you want to go on the hunt for bargains or you’re just looking to browse the shops to pass the time, YYZ provides the opportunities for it.

The Travel Store in Terminal 3 sells high-quality luggage, bags and backpacks, as well as jewelry, watches and belts. You can even buy an umbrella, just in case the sun stops shining and the heavens open while you're on your travels.

Hudson's Bay Company Trading Post sells souvenirs that make great gifts for friends back home or mementoes of your time in Canada, while the Toronto Duty Free store offers you the chance to make big savings on premium brand perfumes, colognes, alcohol, chocolate, handmade Canadian curios and a range of other items.
