Flying into Toronto
For those flying into Toronto, most major airlines fly either non-stop or through connections to Pearson International Airport (YYZ) in Toronto. There are two terminals:
-
Terminal 1 is used by Air Canada and most Star Alliance airlines (e.g., United, Lufthansa, EVA, Austrian, Air China, Aegean).
-
Terminal 3 is used by other airlines.
There is a "terminal link" train that shuttles between the two terminals.
