About this route

London to Toronto flights

London to Toronto follows a similar pattern to the New York route, with 5+ daily departures from Heathrow. The 8-hour westbound flight and 5-hour timezone difference mean afternoon UK departures (1-4pm) land 4-7pm Toronto time. That is 9pm to midnight UK time, making evening tracking common.

Toronto Pearson (YYZ) has two terminals. Terminal 1 handles Air Canada and Star Alliance partners. Terminal 3 serves BA, Virgin Atlantic, and other carriers. The terminals are connected by the LINK Train (3 minutes). From landing to exit is typically 30-50 minutes, including Canadian customs and immigration. NEXUS card holders can use automated kiosks for faster processing.

The UP Express train runs from Pearson to Union Station in downtown Toronto every 15 minutes (25-minute journey). Taxis to downtown take 30-60 minutes depending on Highway 401 and Gardiner Expressway traffic. A landing alert helps coordinate pickup timing, especially during rush hours when the 401 is heavily congested.

Return flights from Toronto depart in the evening (8-10pm), arriving Heathrow 8-10am UK time the next morning. The 7-hour eastbound flight is an hour shorter than outbound due to jet stream tailwinds. Morning Heathrow arrivals can overlap with rush hour, so factor in M25 congestion when planning pickup.
