    The mistake was going to Toronto. Pearson airport is so astonishingly poorly managed for such an expensive project. Always avoid Toronto.

      LHR is also very poorly managed for such an expensive project. OP’s picking all the wrong airports.

        You make it sound like I have a choice, going from St Lucia to France is a challenge. It got worse since COVID.

        I think I had issues on close to 50% of my flights, the worst one was a 2 days delay on the way to France and a 2 days delays on the way back but it’s only because I ended up taking a private flight from Martinique to St Lucia.

        On the bright side the company paid for the hotel each time, so there is worse situation than being stuck in a hotel in the Caribbean.

        Like being stuck in Toronto airport…

        If you can fly to Gatwick, it is likely cheaper because Heathrow has more airport fees. The train to Gatwick from London was great it had a screen in each cabin that tells you which is more or less full of people and even tells you if the toilet is vacant or out of order.

      I transferred through Pearson before going home to BC a couple years ago. I had just finished a bunch of international travelling and couldn’t believe how bad the airport was. Even the amenities; the only place to eat outside security was Tim’s and some poutine place. The Ben Cambodia has a better designed airport (although it’s pretty new).

      Pearson is the absolute worst. I’ll always try to use Hamilton if I can
