The train makes three stops: Terminal 1, Terminal 3, and Viscount Station. Viscount Station provides access to the Value Park Lot, the Value Park Garage, and select local airport hotels. ## Finding the Train Stations in Each Terminal Clear signage is posted throughout the airport to guide you to the train platforms. ### Finding the Station at Terminal 1 At Terminal 1, the Terminal Link station is located on Level 5 of the Terminal 1 parking garage. To reach it, follow the overhead signs for "Terminal Link" or "Train to Terminal 3." Walkways connect the main terminal building directly to the parking garage, where you can take an escalator or elevator to the platform.
### Finding the Station at Terminal 3 At Terminal 3, the station is located on Level 3 of the Terminal 3 parking garage. Follow the signs directing you to the "Terminal Link" or "Train to Terminal 1." The platform can be accessed via the pedestrian bridge near the Sheraton Gateway Hotel. ## Step-by-Step Transfer Process If you are connecting between flights at different terminals, follow these steps: 1. **Deplane and Follow Exit Signs:** Once your flight lands, follow the arrival flow. If you need to collect checked baggage that is not checked through to your final destination, proceed to the baggage claim area first. 2. **Exit to the Public Area:** The Terminal Link train operates outside the secure zone (landside). You must exit the secure area of your arrival terminal to access the train. 3. **Board the Train:** Follow the signs to the station, board the next departing train, and ride it to your destination terminal. The travel time between Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 is only a few minutes. 4. **Check In and Clear Security:** Once you arrive at the new terminal, locate your airline's check-in desk if you do not have a boarding pass for your next flight. You must then pass through security screening at the new terminal to reach your departure gate.
## Important Tips for Connecting Passengers Transferring between terminals requires careful timing, especially during peak travel periods. Keep the following in mind to avoid missing your flight: * **Security Re-screening:** Because the Terminal Link train is located in the public area of the airport, you will have to go through security screening again at your departing terminal. * **Customs and Immigration:** If you are arriving on an international flight and connecting to a domestic or U.S.-bound flight, you must clear Canadian customs and immigration before you can access the Terminal Link train. * **Luggage Policies:** Always confirm with your airline whether your checked baggage will be automatically transferred to your connecting flight or if you must collect and re-check it yourself. * **Connection Times:** It is recommended to allow extra time when a terminal change is required. A minimum of two hours is generally advised for domestic connections involving a terminal change, while three hours or more is recommended for international or U.S. transborder connections. ## Verifying Terminal Information
Terminal assignments can change. To ensure you head to the correct terminal, verify your flight details before your trip. You can check the official Toronto Pearson Airport website, consult your airline's mobile app, or view the flight information display screens located throughout the airport terminals.
