I'm a new member; this is my first post although I've been lurking for awhile. I figure if you guys can't tell me what to do, nobody can!

Tuesday Sept 8th I'm travelling Air Canada YOW-YYZ-FCO, and I have an 10 hour layover at Pearson (10:00 - 20:05). I booked my flight on Aeroplan points, and this was the best connection that they could offer me. I'm not Prestige, Elite or Super-Elite - I get all my points from the CIBC Aerogold Visa. I called Aeroplan to see if they would sell me a $40 day pass for the Maple Leaf lounge, and they won't because I'm travelling on points. If I had paid for my ticket, even a low fare like Tango or Latitide, I could buy a pass. But since I only spend tens of thousands of dollars a year on my Visa, I'm of no concern.

Does anyone know if any of the airport hotels will rent a room for a half a day? I haven't found anything with Google. Or is there somewhere that I could go? I'm not really keen about going downtown, because a) I used to live in Toronto and have seen the sights; and b) with no subway connection to Pearson yet, I don't want to be stuck on a TTC bus on the 401 if there's a car accident and miss my flight. (I know Toronto traffic all too well. Been there, done that, carved my name in the collector lanes near the DVP.)

I need suggestions for what to do for the better part of a day. Help!

Thanks, Kate
