Photos for Mississauga are still on their way. Every listing below is real.
Terminals
Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) — On Mississauga's northeast edge (~15–25 min to most of the city).
Check your terminal before you go; the airport's own site has the live terminal maps.
Lounges: access and cost
Air Canada, WestJet, Plaza Premium and Amex lounges; confirm current access.
Walk-up paid access varies by lounge — confirm on the lounge's own page before counting on it. Credit-card lounge access is the quiet hack: if your card includes it, the airport lounges are where it pays off (card-network links coming to this guide).
Food inside the airport
Good terminal food; the city is 15 minutes away.
Ground transport: real prices
The UP Express runs to downtown Toronto (~25 min); MiWay buses cover the city; taxis/Uber everywhere. The airport is IN Mississauga — the commute is the short one.
Prices move — confirm on the airport or transit operator's site before you travel. Only use official taxi ranks; ignore terminal touts.
Layover itineraries
3 hours — stay airside. 3 hours — stay airside. Efficient terminals.
6 hours — quick city trip. 6 hours — Port Credit is ~20 min each way: the waterfront, the lighthouse, lunch, back with buffer. The rare airport where the city wins.
Overnight — sleep near the airport. Overnight — the airport hotel strip (dozens of options) or Port Credit's waterfront. Compare on the usual hotel sites. Book via Booking.com and compare — airport hotels spike on disruption days.
Flights
Compare fares into YYZ: compare flights to YYZ. Prices swing by season — the shoulder months are usually the value window.
