“Passengers heading south ahead of the American Thanksgiving holiday should keep an eye on their flight status, especially if connecting,” the airport wrote in a social media post published Wednesday.

To minimize wait time at the airport, Pearson recommends that travellers heading into the U.S. download the Mobile Passport Control App. Designed by the United States Customs and Border Protection, the app allows travellers to submit their customs forms ahead of time. For those arriving in Canada, CBSA offers travellers the ability to submit their custom and immigration forms up to 72 hours in advance using Advance Declaration.

Certain travellers are also eligible to reserve their spot at security using YYZ Express.
