The Greater Toronto Airports Authority says that 144,000 passengers are expected to pass through Pearson International Airport today, a volume of traffic that is “well above an average day.”
Speaking to CP24 Friday, Maria Ganogiannis, a spokesperson for the GTAA, said things are “moving smoothly” so far.The average daily count of passengers during the March Break period, which runs from March 7 to March 17, is an estimated 138,000. “Right now operations are normal. Yesterday we had a wonderful start,” Ganogiannis said. “I know March Break is synonymous with spring break but really we are still in winter and winter operations are underway.”She said passengers can check in with their airline 24 hours ahead of departure and can book parking at the airport online as well.
“That will help them avoid circling the parking lots to look for an available parking space,” she said. Ganogiannis noted that the mobile app offered by the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority offers tips for how to pack your carry-on and even how to dress to get through airport security checkpoints quickly.An Air Canada flight makes its final approach as it lands at Pearson International Airport in Toronto on Sept. 30, 2004.

Really because last Sunday I flew back in at 7pm & the customs line was so long they stopped letting people down into the area. I presume if it's busier today they'll have to stop letting people off planes or re-route flights to actual capable airports.
I wish that was me in that plane ... vacation much needed.
its called ripoff day. when all the airlines inflate their prices significantly. that's why I stay away from this week and travel. MarchBreak
Everyone that's flying out for March Break, have fun!!! And be safe.
