Toronto’s Island Airport is an interesting comparison to Pearson. It’s a premium airport, you might say, but it’s much less fancy. Business travellers love it because it’s right downtown (although with the state of traffic and public transit in this city, it’s not half as convenient as it should be). After years of discussion, it finally has U.S. preclearance facilities. But the terminal is in no way, shape or form impressive. It’s comfortable, nice, serviceable — all an airport terminal needs to be.
