Directions

Located in the northwest corner of the metropolitan Toronto, Lester B. Pearson International Airport (YYZ) is served by more than 35 international carriers and is the main Toronto airport handling commercial and business flights. The airport is 16 miles (25 km) west of central Toronto. Travelers Aid has desks in all terminals in the arrivals area. They are very helpful with maps, brochures, and general travel information. Allow 40-60 minutes to/from the heart of downtown, depending on time of the day. From the airport to the city, the most convenient way to get downtown is use the Airport Buses or Airport Taxies working out of the airport.

A number of maps are available to help you find your way:

• Maps of YYZ Terminals: Terminal 1 and Terminal 3

The Toronto Island Airport (YTZ) is a much smaller airport, serving limited airlines. Porter Airlines currently have flights to/from YTZ, serving a limited number of destinations, including Chicago Midway (MDW), Halifax (YHZ), Montreal (YUL), New-York-Newark (EWR), Ottawa (YOW), Quebec City (YQB), and Thunderbay (YQT). YTZ is conveniently located in the city centre -- a short ferry ride will get you to Toronto harbour, where Union Station (subway and rail) is near by.

At Pearson International Airport (YYZ), taxi stands are located at the main entrance of every terminal. The fare to the downtown area is approximately $50-60 CAD. You may negotiate a flat fee with the driver ahead of the time, instead of paying by the meter. An additional 15% tip is expected by the driver.

Only taxies with TIA on their license plates are authorized to pick up passengers from Pearson International Airport. The trip can take from 40 minutes to over an hour in traffic.

Provides transportation from the airport (YYZ) to Downtown area hotels at twenty minute intervals during peak periods. One way cash fare is $23.95 CAD and roundtrip is $39.95. To book tickets or obtain more information, click here.

The bus stops at a number of hotels in the downtown core. At the Royal York Hotel, their connector service will take you directly to the University.

You must book this connector service in advance and is included in your cash fare. Bookings can be made upon arrival at the Royal York or in advance. Information call (905) 564-6333 or (905) 564-3232.

You may also take the T.T.C.(the name for our transit system) from the Airport. It costs $3.00 only, but it will take considerably longer time (1.5 to 2 hours, depending on where you want to go), and you may need to make several transfers. If you have heavy luggage, it is not recommended. However, if you travel light (say, with a couple of small suitcases on wheels), then this can be a cost effective alternative.

To go from the airport to the downtown campus, take Bus 192 Airport Rocket (has a stop at every terminal), get off at Kipling Subway Station, and take the subway to St. George Station. At St. George Station, you can either walk to campus (about 12-minute walk to the Galbraith Building), or take the Yellow subway line south and get off at Queen's Park station. Then see above for directions to the Galbraith building. It's about 5-minute walk.
