Pearson International Airport is the busiest airport in Canada and the main hub for Air Canada. This means that whether you’re traveling domestically or internationally, there’s a chance you’ll end up with a layover at this airport. Here are some things you can do to kill time while waiting for your next flight.
Layovers that are less than six hours:
If you have less than six hours to wait, you’ll want to stay in the airport. Luckily, there’s lots to keep you occupied.
• Eat a meal: There are plenty of eateries in the airport where you can grab a bite. Try a smoked meat sandwich from Caplansky’s, Japanese food from Acer or a unique sandwich from Fetta.
• Do some shopping: From standard duty-free shops offering souvenirs, books and magazines to high-end boutiques selling designer brands, there’s lots to peruse at Pearson while you wait.
• Work out: If nothing makes you feel better than a workout, you’re in luck. Goodlife Fitness has a large facility at the airport (it includes a locker room and showers so you can freshen up before you board your next flight). You can even rent workout clothes if you don’t feel like unpacking your bag.
• Check out the art: Pearson has a permanent collection of works by international artists and a number of rotating exhibits on display.

For layovers that last more than a few hours, why not leave the airport and explore the city? Stow your luggage at one of the secure storage facilities in either terminal and head out.
