6 hour layover at YYZ - into the City or stay at airport?
We are flying YVR-YYZ-CDG on Saturday, and sadly we have a layover in YYZ of 5:45. We arrive YYZ at 2 pm (not sure which terminal for AC domestic arrival) and depart AC at 8:40 pm. We're a family of 4, including two teens, and we're wondering whether we'll have enough time to go into Toronto to have a quick look-see at U of T (oldest child may be applying there in the fall), go in to see the CN Tower; of whether given the time frame our early departure from YVR (7 am local time) and late night flight to Paris, we would be better to get a day room at an airport hotel (the Sheraton?) or just hang around the airport in lounges. We are travelling J class to YYZ and so far 2 are in J class for the Paris flight, so not sure about entitlement to lounges (DH does have the Cdn Amex Plat). No idea what terminal we fly in or out of at YYZ, and although we'll have one bag checked, we'll all have carry on's, which I presume we can store at the airport if we decide to go into the city.
Any advice on the options? If we do decide to go into Toronto, what would be the most economical and efficient option, given it's Saturday afternoon/evening? Also, any dinner suggestions welcome (will we get dinner on our CDG flight (880). Any suggestions or comments appreciated.
