Toronto (departure options)

CYYZ – Toronto Pearson: widest aircraft choice, 24/7 FBOs, de-icing on tap in winter. Fastest for most missions.
CYTZ – Billy Bishop (Toronto City): close to downtown, runway and slot constraints; light jets and turboprops only, limited late-night ops.
CYHM – Hamilton: useful for repositioned aircraft and quick turnarounds when Pearson is busy.

Cross-border requirements and timing (Canada → USA)

APIS & eAPIS: Passenger details submitted in advance to CBP. Accurate manifests keep ramp checks short.
Documents: Valid passports (and U.S. visas/ESTA if applicable).
Pets: Health papers and advance operator approval.
De-icing (seasonal): Toronto winters often mean a Type I spray before departure; allow extra pad-to-runway time so holdover isn’t wasted.

Baggage planning for a private jet

Declare bag count and any hard cases early. Light jets take skis diagonally and 4–6 medium cases if soft-sided; a Citation XLS+ or larger helps when strollers, golf bags, or trade-show cases join the party.
