Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport (YYZ) is the busiest airport in all of Canada. Its three terminals service over 25 million passengers per year traveling to points around the globe. As with any large airport, there are the unavoidable delays of traffic into the terminals, parking once you make your way in, and security precautions before you can make your way to the gate. These hassles have compounded in recent years.
Now more than ever, travelers are seeking ways to reduce the stresses associated with air travel, and park, sleep, and fly packages are making marked improvements in this area. By staying the night in a hotel close to the airport, a traveler can greatly reduce the next day's ground journey. By taking advantage of a park, sleep, and fly option, that traveler can leave his or her car at the hotel and be shuttled into the airport at no extra charge.
Taking advantage of these packages will almost certainly reduce the stresses of making one's way into busy airport terminals. They can also prove very cost-effective when you consider the costs of airport parking. In most airports, the cost of parking for a week will often approach the cost of a one night hotel stay--unless you choose to stay in a five-star resort, of course. (The benefit to one's mental health cannot be translated into dollars and cents, but it is there nonetheless.)
What to Look for in a Park, Sleep, and Fly Package
Park, sleep, and fly packages are usually negotiated between the brokering company and the specific hotel concerned, so they can vary significantly in the specifics. Hotels may offer more or less parking security, may have stringent or relaxed cancellation policies, and may offer more or less frequent shuttle trips. Do not assume that all packages will be exactly the same. As with all travel arrangements, read the fine print and find out exactly what you are getting before you pay for it.
