This is my first time flying through Toronto, and I’m already a little confused about which terminal to go to. I have an Air Canada ticket, but I don’t know which terminal to go to. There are two terminals at Pearson, and I can't find any clear information about which terminal serves which airlines. I’ve read that Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 serve different airlines. If you go to the wrong one, you’ll have to find a way to get between them, which takes time. Has anyone flown with Air Canada from YYZ who can tell me exactly which terminal I should go to so that I don't end up standing confused in the middle of the airport?

    But don't worry, with Air Canada, everything is simple and straightforward. I fly through YYZ quite regularly, and their website clearly states which terminal each flight departs from. You can check it out yourself here: https://toronto-yyzinternational-airport.com/en/. Air Canada and the entire Star Alliance are located in Terminal 1, the larger, newer terminal with better infrastructure. There’s a free shuttle between the terminals, but with passport control and security, it takes time. I recommend allowing at least an hour and a half for a layover like this - or better yet, two hours. By the way, where are you flying to after Toronto? On which leg of the trip are you flying with Air Canada?

    I’m taking a connecting flight, and the first leg is with a different airline that’s part of the oneworld alliance. Will I have to change terminals between flights, and how long does that take? I want to know if I’ll have enough time for the layover or if I should rebook a flight with a longer layover.
