Toronto Layover Tips
UP Express is the Fastest to Downtown
The Union Pearson Express train connects YYZ to Toronto Union Station in just 25 minutes. It's the most reliable option, especially during rush hour traffic.
Stay Connected at Terminal 3
The Sheraton Gateway is directly connected to Terminal 3. If you're flying WestJet or have a tight schedule, this is the most convenient hotel option.
Plan for Winter Weather Delays
Toronto winters can bring snow and ice that affect road travel. During winter months, airport hotels become even more valuable for early morning departures.
Use Hotel Shuttles for Terminal Transfers
YYZ is spread across two large terminals. Hotel shuttle services know the terminal layouts and can save you time compared to public transit for terminal transfers.
