Terminal 2 Closing at Pearson

[PHNINE]

In the future, all trips to and from the greek islands will be arriving and departing from Lancslad's terminal.

good bye & good riddance to T2...the new T1 is gorgeous and a joy to fly through.

 

[LancsLad]

For all those passengers requesting special handling of their "small packages" please call PHNINE.

If a cavity search is required, Lancslad will gladly fill in for any passangers that would like to avoid. Thanks for taking one for the team, Lancs.

[LancsLad]

As you can tell by the quality of his posts PHNINE is quite full right now. Therefore he will gladly fill in for any passengers that would need to void while at the airport.
Apparantly he said that on the way to the airport this morning he "passed" a 50' tractor trailer. I wouldn't have thought it possible but he assures me he wasn't stretching it at all.

New T1

On Friday I flew out of the new T1 for the first time and I must say I was very impressed. The building is huge and during the day it is almost entirely lit by natural light. At times you can almost forget that you are not outside.

Eventually even T3 will be demolished.

That is what they are currently planning, or that is what you predict? It is much newer than 2 was, isn't it?

Yes, the airport tram is running. To me, it is stupid, it is dragged by a wire pulled by a winch at the end, so it is virtually impossible to extend it without redoing everything.

"....The guideway is ideal for the variable weather conditions at Toronto Pearson. As the trains are propelled and stopped by cable, they do not rely on friction between tires and guideway for traction and can thus operate continuously during snowfalls and freezing rain....... Provisions have been made to accommodate a future connection to Union Station via Toronto Pearson Airport Air Rail Transit Link ... "

Someone in this thread mentioned after T2 is closed, there will be more lineups at T1...wrong. The new F-wing of T1 opened to today to coincide w/ T2's closure.

TOFTT.

No problem in the cold & freezing rain. Fast efficient to Viscount parking ($12/day). Great ride to check out must of been the only Asian AC attendant that's past her 'Best Before' date.

The EMB jet was a different story. -20c interior.

I don't think T3 will be demolished for the foreseeable future, as they were expanding on the end of the building the last time I was there and they have the Sheraton right across from it (which likely means there is a long-term deal on that one). I just don't see it being part of the plan for the next 25 years.

 

[goodtime]

T3 is still work in progress. Many unsecured areas imo with workmens & temp contractors coming & going.

As of 11:59 p.m. January 29, 2007 Terminal 2 will permanently close its doors and stop operations.

About time, though the walk to customs is a bitch.
