Helpful tips for your March Break travel experience
At peak times, the airport will see hundreds of flights arriving and departing each day. To make your journey more convenient, we recommend using these digital tools to enhance your travel experience:
- Mobile Passport Control, an app introduced by United States Customs and Border Protection that allows travellers to digitally submit their information for a smoother departures experience if they’re travelling to the US.
- Avoid traffic congestion curbside at the terminals by dropping off passengers the new Viscount Station Kiss and Fly. The station, which is located just outside the airport, is a great connection point by a quick train ride. Drop-off is easy and quick—leading passengers right into Terminal 1 and 3 for free.
- Before you fly, review your airline’s baggage policies, as check-in and carry-on limits vary by carrier.
- If you are a passenger with a disability, don’t forget to notify your airline of your needs at least 48 hours before your flight. Pearson offers a variety of accessible services and facilities to make your trip as smooth as possible.
- Passengers with invisible disabilities can request a Sunflower lanyard at the info desks at T1 and T3; by wearing the lanyard, it discreetly signals to our staff that you may need additional assistance, time, or understanding during your journey.
- Our live wait times dashboard provides real-time information ahead of arriving at the airport. This gives passengers information about what to expect before arriving at the airport.
- Register online to park your car, which helps to guarantee your spot ahead of time.
- If you're picking up friends or family, take advantage of the free cell phone waiting area, where you can park for up to 45 minutes at no cost.
- Don’t forget to follow us on X for any major operational updates.
