When I deplaned in T2, not many visible ground staff, no monitors, and no map.

I did end up asking the agents past the I/C hall. But the confusion started way before that...

Should I really be expected to have to ask for help? Isn't that the perogative of (good) signage?
You should not have to ask. You are not the only one that has complained about signage at YYZ T1. I am suprised that you had to look for someone though because I think T1 has too many staff just hanging around when that money could be invested in something like,,,ummm,,, better signage!

At the present time, T2 ->T1 -> Infield is indeed quite a convoluted journey. However once all is consolidated into T new all will be much easier.

No it won't. AC in combination with YYZ will still be AC in combination with YYZ and it will be more of the same. :td:

Neither learns from their mistakes....

PE: You just have a problem with AC and YYZ. :D

I agree with PE- YYZ is the worst airport in the 1st world. Something must be done about it- enough excuses.

What don't you people get!!! :rolleyes:
YYZ won't be what it is designed to be until 4 or 5 years from now. You don't eat food which took 10 seconds to make and expect it to be gourmet :p , you have to have patience in order to see the full beauty of YYZ. Till then, HAVE PATIENCE ;) ;)

I disagree. LAX hands down would get that title.

If this is going to last for years, rather than hours or at most a few days, then they should put up some signs!!!!

Yes, if you require help and are otherwise unable to follow the signs that are posted. :rolleyes:

I understand what most of you are saying ^ , and I agree.
YYZ should put in some short term solutions such as better signage and more user-friendly facilities. But once it is complete, transfering through YYZ will be like Nirvana compared to right now. If my memory is correct, YYZ made an appeal along with YVR to allow transfering passengers out of Canada to an International flight to bypass customs :D

Indeed it is confusing. The directions out of T2 can be quite misleading. However I found out recently that when you come out of customs DO NOT take the Interterminal buses. Turn left, go to the end of the building and there you go through security and board the bus to T1. The rest is then easy. In case you can't find the door-- it has a red light flashing!!

There is not an airport in Italy that is efficient...................so I don't know how you can get a bug up your ... about YYZ in comparision when it is a work in progress.

..I think the flashing light is green.
One can also get a direct shuttle to the IFT and thus save a stop.

That's what I'm saying. There were no signs and no one to help.

Now that I think back....T1 was pretty nice. Too bad it took me an hour to get there!

In fact there are second world airports that I'd consider less of a hassle to get through than YYZ.

Construction is a poor excuse. Every expanding airport has had to deal with this problem.
