However, your enthusiasm wanes once you arrive at Toronto Pearson Airport and start the security protocol. It seemingly takes forever to complete your check and receive a green light, so is there a way to speed up the process?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Salvation comes in the form of <a data-lasso-id=\"202517\" href=\"https:\/\/www.torontopearson.com\/en\/departures\/yyz-express\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">YYZ Express<\/a>. This online reservation solution is the light at the end of the security tunnel, allowing you to breeze through your check. Let\u2019s see how this system works and how you can use it to board your plane faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-guide-to-yyz-express\">The Guide to YYZ Express<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">YYZ Express is a revolutionary technology that drastically reduces queue times at Pearson Airport. This reservation system enables you to board your flight faster by entering the Pearson priority security lane. This way, you avoid all the hassle associated with traditional security checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Expediting security checks sounds fantastic, right? So, the only question is: How does this system work? Here\u2019s our step-by-step guide to YYZ Express:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. Head to the <a href=\"https:\/\/yyz.whyline.com\/new?organization=6331d9212e3060003f1ec8c9&amp;place=6331de4277ad1a84676b2244\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-lasso-id=\"202518\">YYZ Express reservation website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Go to the \u201cFind your trip\u201d menu if it\u2019s not already opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hardbacon.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-01-9.23.02-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-234764\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Choose the date of your flight. We\u2019ll use June 04, 2023, as an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hardbacon.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-01-9.23.37-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-234774\" style=\"width:833px;height:163px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. Select your destination using the dropdown menu. Do the same for your airline. The below picture shows what your YYZ Express menu should look like if you want to visit Barcelona via Air Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hardbacon.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-01-9.24.37-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-234784\" style=\"width:839px;height:105px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. Pick your flight number. In this case, the only available option is flight 820.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hardbacon.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-01-9.25.06-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-234794\" style=\"width:840px;height:105px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6. Hit the \u201cNext\u201d button and wait for the system to process your request. You\u2019ll now arrive at the \u201cParty size\u201d customization screen. Tell the tool how many people you want to include in your trip. The maximum number is 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hardbacon.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-01-9.26.04-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-234804\" style=\"width:837px;height:204px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">7. Choose an appointment time. We\u2019ve selected 5 p.m. to illustrate this step. You should also see a notification that says the app will hold your slot for 15 minutes before or after the appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hardbacon.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-01-9.26.46-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-234814\" style=\"width:838px;height:226px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">8. Click \u201cNext\u201d and move on to the \u201cPassenger information\u201d screen. Enter your email address in the \u201cReservation information\u201d tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hardbacon.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Design-sans-titre-32.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-234827\" style=\"width:835px;height:394px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">9. Tap \u201cNext\u201d and review your information. You can easily change details by returning to one of the previous menus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hardbacon.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-01-9.30.40-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-234837\" style=\"width:844px;height:638px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">10. Press \u201cCreate an appointment,\u201d and you\u2019re good to go. The system will email a QR code that contains your flight and security data. Once you\u2019re at the airport, show it to the security personnel to waltz through your screening and get your adventure underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With YYZ Express, your trip will start on the right foot because of quick security checks. You need only complete your registration and present your QR code. However, you may wonder about the window for making appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can schedule your YYZ Express security pass no sooner than three days before your flight. Don\u2019t forget that you have 15 minutes to perform your security check after your reservation expires. If you arrive at Pearson Airport later than that, you\u2019ll need to choose a different slot, depending on availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And yes \u2013 the 10-person limit is inconvenient, but there\u2019s a simple workaround. Suppose you\u2019re travelling as a group of 15 tourists. You could book a YYZ Express trip for you and nine others. Another individual can make the reservation for the rest of the pack, allowing you to go through security terminals without waiting hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-yyz-express-available-at-all-terminals\">Is YYZ Express Available at All Terminals?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pearson Airport booking has come a long way, largely thanks to YYZ Express. The system has taken the travel experience to a whole new level, but this doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s perfect. There are a few drawbacks you should be aware of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Primarily, YYZ Express isn\u2019t available at all terminals. Here are the two areas where you can utilize your YYZ Express-provided QR code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Terminal 1, Gate D screening area<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Terminal 3, Gates C and B (near the entrance for passengers with <a href=\"https:\/\/hardbacon.ca\/en\/travel\/nexus-card-for-canadians-the-ultimate-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"202519\">NEXUS cards<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, keep in mind that you can\u2019t enter the Pearson priority security lane with a YYZ Express pass if you\u2019re a Trusted Traveller (more on that later). Each program provides distinct benefits, which is why they don\u2019t go hand in hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-are-there-any-other-ways-to-go-through-airport-security-faster\">Are There Any Other Ways to Go Through Airport Security Faster?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pearson Airport goes to great lengths to ensure a seamless experience for all travellers. Besides rolling out the YYZ Express program, they also provide another program to help expedite your security check: Trusted Travellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You must complete an in-depth background check to determine if you\u2019re a Trusted Traveller. Pearson Airport deems you a low-risk passenger after getting a green light on your check. This eliminates the need for comprehensive scans on your future arrivals at the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two common ways to qualify for the Trusted Travellers program:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-receive-your-nexus-card\">Receive Your NEXUS Card<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hardbacon.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-01-7.29.03-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-234436\" style=\"width:491px;height:291px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you frequently travel back and forth between Canada and the U.S., the NEXUS card is a match made in heaven. It qualifies you for faster security clearance and border crossings, making the entire process hassle-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But first, you\u2019ll need to determine if you\u2019re eligible for this program. Here are the criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You haven\u2019t broken immigration, agriculture, or customs laws.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can freely enter the U.S. and Canada under the immigration laws of these two nations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You\u2019ve submitted your application correctly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you meet the first two requirements, all that remains is applying for your NEXUS card:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\">\n<li>Select the NEXUS program on the <a href=\"https:\/\/ttp.cbp.dhs.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-lasso-id=\"202520\">Homeland Security web page<\/a>. It should be the third option from the left, preceded by the TSA Pre and Global Entry programs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter your login credentials.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow the on-screen instructions to finalize the process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submit your application and wait up to a month for the system to process the application. You\u2019ll also need to do an interview, where you\u2019ll be able to present your case as to why the government should grant your request.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-global-entry\">Global Entry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Global Entry is similar to the NEXUS program, offering expedited security clearance and trouble-free security checks. The biggest difference and the reason why many find NEXUS superior is that it speeds up an entry from the U.S. into Canada and vice versa. With Global Entry, you can only accelerate your entry from Canada into the U.S. and not the other way around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s not to say that Global Entry isn\u2019t beneficial. Far from it \u2013 you can gain a lot from this program. For instance, it enables you to enter the U.S. from other countries faster. If this program sounds good, here\u2019s how to apply for it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\">\n<li>Submit a Global Entry application with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/travel\/trusted-traveler-programs\/global-entry\/how-apply\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-lasso-id=\"202521\">United States Customs and Border Protection<\/a>. The submission is subject to a $100 fee.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complete your background check.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to your interview, where the authorities will take your photo and capture fingerprints.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-long-security-wait-times-are-history-with-yyz-express\">Long Security Wait Times Are History With YYZ Express<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All the concerns surrounding YYZ Express are dispelled. So, what are you waiting for? Schedule your appointment and head to Pearson Airport for a seamless experience. Coupled with your <a data-lasso-id=\"202522\" href=\"https:\/\/hardbacon.ca\/en\/credit-cards\/best-travel-credit-cards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel credit card<\/a>, YYZ Express will make your journeys much more effortless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-affiliate-plugin-lasso\">\t\t<div class=\"relative p-10 rounded-sm shadow-(--shadow) !my-20  md:max-w-[900px] md:mx-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"absolute left-3 right-3 sm:right-auto bottom-full bg-primary-dark text-white text-center text-sm md:text-base font-medium py-2 px-8 rounded-t-lg w-content mx-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\tGet up to 70,000 WestJet points\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"md:flex gap-20 items-center\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shrink-0 md:w-1\/3 flex flex-col items-center justify-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hardbacon-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/comparators\/5f35592c92ec22115033b30c_offer_credit_card\" alt=\"Offer Image\" class=\"!my-0 mx-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/api.fintelconnect.com\/t\/l\/63a11349b8dbe1001bc20ba1\" class=\"whitespace-nowrap button-link-sm-base button-link-filled text-white no-underline hidden md:block mt-5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Get it now<\/a>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-center md:text-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"font-medium text-xl md:text-2xl block mb-10\">WestJet RBC\u00ae World Elite Mastercard\u2021<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"font-regular divide-y divide-primary-dark\/10\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex justify-between py-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"shrink-0 block font-medium w-[180px]\">Annual Fee:<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"text-right\">$139<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex justify-between py-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"shrink-0 block font-medium w-[180px]\">Purchase Interest Rate:<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"text-right\">20.99%<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex justify-between py-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"shrink-0 block font-medium w-[180px]\">Offer:<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"text-right\">Get up to 70,000 WestJet points1:<br><br> \u2022 30,000 WestJet points upon your first purchase<br> \u2022 30,000 WestJet points when you spend $5,000 in the first 3 months<br> \u2022 10,000 WestJet points after your first-year anniversary<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex justify-between py-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"shrink-0 block font-medium w-[180px]\">Legal note:<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"text-right\">*Conditions apply.
