Heathrow is just one of four significant international airports in the London area, but has remained the capital’s primary hub due to consistent investment. Despite teething troubles in the first month, the ?4.5 bn Terminal Five (Home to British Airways international flights - including Heathrow to Toronto) is now fully operational. It is one of the best connected terminals, with over 100 shops and outlets.

Toronto Airport
Flights to Toronto from the UK bring you to Toronto Pearson International Airport, named after Nobel Prize recipient, former Canadian Prime Minister Lester Pearson. This is a top thirty international airport by flight numbers, currently carrying over 400,000 flights per year. The airport was first developed in the 1930s, before being acquired for service during the Second World War. Continued expansion has left the airport currently with five runways, and it is the busiest airport in Canada.
