Random Canadian Factoid no 8 - a YYZ one for Sullivan
Short but sweet. I need to post a little something to remind you all I am here. The best thing about this blog is that I have buy in from other people. Unbelievably, other people are actually helping me find bits of information to put in here. So a special thank you to today's contributor! (They know who they are)
The generosity of people in general here is something i just cannot believe. Because, not only am I collecting things for my blog, I am also collecting 25c coins - of which there are goodness knows how many variations. It was a sad something I noticed way back in June, that there are many different faces to the 25c. Now, I am having people keep the unusual ones for me when we meet up, and at least 4 people have turned up with special coins for me...
On the other hand, this generosity comes at a price. For today's factoid is this - that Toronto is the most expensive airport in the world, when it comes to landing fees. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20051115/pearson_fees_051115/20051116?hub=Canada
I am working on getting a dissertation from my mate DS as to why this is the case, and what the landing fees pay for. If they are in any way responsible for the brand new Terminal one at Lester B Pearson, it was money well spent. Easily the most pain free terminal I have flown out of..
Sadly, for the rest of you, the costs of landing an aeroplane here probably add about $35 to your flight ticket. But, if you want to come over here, its a small price to pay. The memories of your time in Toronto? Priceless.
