Arriving flight (AA) at 5:09 pm from YYZ. Connecting flight with AA to ZRH at 6:20 pm. It shows as a connecting flight on the AA website. From the airport website I understand that we would arrive in Terminal A and have to go to Terminal F. Is this enough time? Thanks
All the concourses are connected airside and you'll be pre-cleared in YYZ so you just need to walk to the next gate. Plenty of time.

There is no way your flight to ZRH (Zurich) would be leaving from terminal F. That is the terminal for short-haul express flights. It will be departing from terminal A. All international flights depart from A-West.Originally Posted by Budapest

Probably the reverse, that's all. YYZ might arrive into F. ZRH would depart out of A.Originally Posted by rittenhousesq

To add to this I'm flying MAN-PHL-YYZ in a few weeks, a presume arriving into A as intl and departing f.
My connection is 1:45, a UK passport holder but with GE.
Is it gonna be an easy connection or running?

My guess would be running, if you do not have Global Entry and have checked bags.
Depending on what time your MAN-PHL flight arrives, you may likely find yourself in a long and slow line for immigration. PHL baggage delivery is snail-like, after which you will find yourself in a line to get out of the hall and past the customs inspectors who collect the blue customs forms as passengers shuffle by. Then you have a line to re-check your bag with your onward carrier, then you have to go through security again, and only then do you get to run to the inter-terminal bus to F (where you will have to wait for the bus, which then takes about 10-15 minutes to load, drive, and unload).
In other words, move smartly and don't hit the bathrooms until you get to terminal F!

If you still have to wait for checked bags, that doesn't help much, unfortunately. You'll just get through immigration quicker only to be standing in the baggage claim area for longer. If you can do hand baggage only, that will save you quite a bit of time.
