Flights from Toronto to Chicago: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Toronto to Chicago 
NicholFlew with United AirlinesAug 2026
If you are a US citizen, make sure you allow enough time for customs in Toronto Pearson airport. My trip was really quick and smooth, but I've seen it at other times where it has been busier and needed more time.
BrianFlew with Air CanadaOct 2024
Be prepared for a labyrinthine experience traversing the various levels and passages of the Toronto airport. Bring quality walking shoes, as it is likely well over a km in total walking time.
Verified travelerFlew with United AirlinesMar 2024
Carry-on baggage sizing for United US bound flights appears to be much smaller than for Canadian flights, which forced me to check my bag at the last minute. So check online ahead of time
