Toronto is the capital city of Ontario, Canada’s most populous province. It’s part of a larger metropolitan area that dominates the eastern half of the continent.

Airports in Des Moines and Toronto

Although the distance is relatively short, this route requires crossing several state lines and an international border. Here’s a quick description of the airports that you’ll see on your trip from Des Moines to Toronto. Even though this is not a long trip, DSM is not considered a major transport hub on the same level as YYZ. Non-stop flights between the two destinations aren’t an option. Luckily the closest major connection is a famously big airport with plenty to see and do during your stopover.

Des Moines International Airport (DSM) is both a civilian airport and military base. The population of airport is small as far as carriers go, but all of the major regional and national airlines are represented. The number of travellers that use this airport is increasing, and future renovations are planned to expand.
Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD) was the busiest airport in the world in 2014 in terms of takeoffs and landings. Chicago is almost the halfway point between Des Moines and Toronto, making it an obvious connection point.
Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) is one of several transportation hubs in the Greater Toronto Area, which also includes other airports, helipads, even an aerodrome. It’s one of the busiest airports in North America, handling an equal amount of local, regional, and international traffic. A lot of this volume comes from south of the border, and airport services have evolved accordingly. You can take advantage of the convenient US-preclearance services upon your arrival.

h2>Departure and Arrival Information

With a flight time of three hours, traveling from Des Moines to Toronto is either a business commute or a weekend tourist venture. The following information is handy for both commuters and visitors.

Documentation Required. Although rather short in length this is still an international flight, and requires at least passport. Your status as a citizen in the United States or Canada can change the requirements. You also might need to produce another form of picture ID or a residency card.
Airport Lounges. Lounges, and other luxury facilities, are available in two of the three airports you visit on this route. DSM has yet to expand enough to warrant more than a meet-and-greet area and private conference rooms. All of the airports have free WiFi, banking and exchange counters, and hotel information.
Public Transportation. The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is connected to the airport via metro, public buses, and express shuttles. Passengers can take long-haul Greyhound buses directly from the airport.
