QUICK ANSWER

Pearson’s departure guide emphasizes the operating airline because codeshares can confuse terminal planning.

01

Terminal Link

Use the free T1↔T3 train when your itinerary requires a landside terminal move.

02

Border process

Canadian entry or U.S. preclearance can change the connection flow. Follow airline/Pearson instructions for your itinerary.

03

Baggage

Do not assume bags transfer on a separate ticket; verify with the airline.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to change terminals at Pearson?

It depends on airlines and itinerary; T1 and T3 are linked by the free Terminal Link train.

What matters for a U.S. connection?

U.S. preclearance and airline/terminal instructions can materially change the process.
