Hamilton Airport transport to Toronto help

hubballi

I am flying on the 9th with Flyglobespan (just been reading reviews of this airline and am worried about delays) to Hamilton, Toronto. I need to get to near Toronto Pearson airport for my overnight stay in hotel before I fly to Ottawa the next morning. Can anyone tell me if there is a bus service from airport to airport as I can't find any info anywhere.

Thanks.

No, this link only gives info on Pearson airport. I need to know how to get from Hamilton to Pearson.

From a read of the transport info on the Hamilton Airport website it looks like your public transport option is:
Shuttle bus from airport to Hamilton Go Train Station - 35 minutes - $12.50 one way
GO Train from Hamilton to Toronto Union Station - 1hr 15 minutes - $8.85
Toronto Airport Express coach from Union Station to Pearson - 40 minutes - $16.95

You could probably get the coach bits cheaper by using local buses etc. (there are details in the other TO thread about bypassing the Airport Express) - but it all depends what time of day it is and how much time you have to make the journey.

Out of interest, why are you flying from Toronto to Ottawa? By the time you've faffed around waiting for flights and luggage and airport transfers you might as well take the train - prices are generally very good if you book more than a week in advance.

OK, scratch what I just said. I've just been looking on globespan's website and found this:

Shuttle Service - Downtown Toronto
For your convenience we offer transportation to downtown Toronto (pickup and dropoff at the Bond Place Hotel) for just £5 per person each way.

You could then get the airport coach or the public transport detailed in the other post to get to Pearson.

Thanks for your help. I know about the Globespan £5 offer for transport but get this, the buses don't run on the days of my flights in and out. ! ! !:eek:
