The Dainty Traveller

This airport is the city airport for the city of Toronto. So it is actually located in the city of Toronto! Right downtown. For me I prefer this airport, because I live in the city centre and it is much closer to my house. The departure and arrival part of the airport is located on an island so you have to board a ferry to get there. The ferries come very often ( I have never waited more than 10 minutes) and they are very fast. Check in is always fast at Billy Bishop and so is security. The stress level at this airport is very low, and it makes traveling much easier. The staff at Billy Bishop are exceptional! Once through security, by the gates there is a café that serves free coffee, tea and snacks! All you can eat. And good quality tea and coffee too. The wifi is free and fast and the bathrooms are large with many stalls and they are clean. Nothing bad to say about BB.

I will not be biased because I am from Toronto. Most airports are not actually in the city which it’s name carries. Pearson is no exception. Toronto Pearson airport is actually located in a suburb of the city called Brampton. Just a fact. Anyways, there are three terminals, and terminal one which houses the national airline, Air Canada, and all of the international flights is  one of the prettiest airport terminals ever. There is artwork from local Canadian artist, super high ceilings, and overall it is a modern and attractive airport. There are SEVERAL and very diverse eating options outside of security and once you have passed security. From Tim Hortons, to paramount (a middle eastern restaurant), to Italian and Mexican restaurants. The bathrooms are big and clean. The staff at Pearson are always helpful and have a smile on their face.
