Toronto - Pearson Airport Tours

Deal Link:
Expiry:
October 24, 2019
Looks pretty cool. Was posted in prior years but I didn't find any from someone who'd been on it. 2019 signups started this morning so all dates are available but they DO go fast (esp weekend tours). Signup is on eventbrite and they only allow you to select one ticket at a time so if you want multiples you'll have to register separately for each person. I have two accounts so I just got one ticket in each account (the second under my SO's name) - you might be able to register for the tour multiple times with one account?

Toronto Pearson's tours let you see how the airport operates behind-the-scenes! Experience the spirit of the airport first-hand by watching the live action on the apron and airfield.

Details here: https://www.torontopearson.com/PearsonC ... 4294985606#
Use this link (thanks, Sprung) to register - first for waitlist then to claim tickets. https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/toronto-pea ... destsearch

Do you ever wonder about what goes on at Canada’s largest airport? Where does your baggage go after check in? What is the difference between a Boeing 767 and an Airbus A380? How many different kinds of machines are used to clear snow from the runway during a winter storm?

Toronto Pearson’s Airside Tours provide community members a unique look at what it takes to keep our airport running every day. Learn about the history of the airport, the economic impact, and how we are giving back to local communities through our investment program, the Propeller Project.

What to Expect on an Airside Tour
Each tour is unique and can vary in route and highlights. Depending on the day, you could catch a glimpse of Terminal 1, Terminal 3, the Firehalls, the Infield, the Central Deicing Facility, Airfield Maintenance or the two control towers. Every day there are different planes on our airfield so you never know which ones you’ll get to see during your tour.

Security Information
As you are going behind the security lines, ALL participants must bring a valid government-issued photo ID. A passport, Driver’s Licence, Nexus Card, Permanent Resident Card, or Ontario Photo Health Card are the only pieces of identification that will be accepted. All participants must be 10 years of age or older. Those under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, but still must have photo identification. In addition, be prepared to be security-screened as if you were going through standard airport security. Participants may bring cameras on the tour.

Weird - when i click on "online booking", it doesn't do anything. Anyone else able to book? *EDIT* - Haha, got distracted and didn't click post till after sprungy's and rapsrealm posted.

I have done this a couple of years ago and it's really interesting. What's great is that every tour will be different depending on what's going on at the moment :)

I wonder if what Op posted is the same as the Airside tour? They seem similar from the descriptions. Looks like the Airside tours are all sold out on eventbrite - I seem to recall the airside tours were posted a while ago.

Wouldn't work for me on desktop chrome. I thought it was our work firewall. So I used IE and it worked fine. I saw your post and just tried again and now the link isn't working. When I first tried this morning all I could do was join waitlists - didn't matter which day I picked. Then 5 minutes later I got 'you're off the waitlist' emails and could claim my tickets. TLDR: sounds like they're having website signup issues. Give it a bit of time?

Yes, I think they're the same - the title on their home page is Toronto Pearson Airside Tour Program. And see my post above - sign up for the waitlist and wait a few minutes for the invite email.

Sweet. Missed this a year or two ago. Glad this came back up on my radar and waitlist converted. Thanks OP
Btw we can bring camera gear. Anyone has any experience and has gone in the past? Is it better to not have a backpack? Monopod?

It does not make sense that the Health card is considered valid ID for security. Ontario Ministry of Health has been super strict about health cards being used only for health purposes.
Think it's time that the airport tour folks update their protocols and replace the health card with a photo ID card (for Ontarians 16+ who don't have a driver's licence). Ditto the elections committees-I've seen the health card listed as valid ID on their lists.Heavy Exclamation Mark Symbol

Sharing is Caring - Without people sharing info, these forums would not exist and no one would benefit from it. Don't be selfish.

They really need to show who downvotes so we can find out the mofus is
