An extremely long but interesting taxi! I have never had a departure like that from YYZ so it was interesting to see all of the structures that occupy the infield. It is like another good-sized airport with more passenger gates and lots of private jet activity and cargo. One day I would like to drive inside there. It seems to be a good vantage point for plane spotters. The views of Toronto on take-off were stunning! Near the end of the video, you can see the town of Barrie on your right - about 10 minutes after take off. By car, it would take over an hour to get to Barrie via the 400!
I once taxied for 45 minutes. It was the first and only time I ever visited Chicago's O'Hare airport. United Airlines even lost my luggage...only to bring it six hours later on a subsequent flight. Yeah...not the best experience.
The old joke is the captain decided to drive to Vancouver instead. it certainly was a tour, I have never been on the south taxiway before. We actually left the gate on time, but because of the tour departed 30 minutes late.

Glad you enjoyed it. I have had some long taxi in Toronto before, but that one was really a tour around!

GIGANT AIRPORT
You could have walked here faster! (I'm from Vancouver!). Nice take off, though ...
Nice tour of Pearson! You got your money's worth on that taxi! lol

Maybe you were supposed to take off on 33R/15L and there was a change in plans?
