How do I decide? Some tips and tricks from our experience

Are you having trouble deciding on how to get to Thunder Bay, ON from Toronto, ON? With 5 connections between 3 Flight and Bus operators, it can be difficult to find the one ride that will make you happy. But we have some tips that can help you make the best informed decision. First of all, the best trip is always the one that meets all your needs, so make a list of all the things that you want from this journey and look for something that will satisfy all of them. Here we will go through some of the factors mostly commonly taken into consideration.

Look for the lowest price

Travel duration

Time is also an important factor. An earlier departure may allow you to see a beautiful sunset or relax before an important event.

Here the quicker option is definitely the Flight from Air Canada rouge: you will get to Thunder Bay, ON in just 1h 55m.

Comfort makes all the difference

You should always take into account what your personal travelling preferences are. Is one hand luggage enough, or are you trasporting more? Would you like to have a snack during the journey? Can you relax in a busy compartment, or do you need space for yourself? Even among the same mode of transportation, different companies will offer you varying levels of comfort and amenities. The main operators connecting Toronto, ON and Thunder Bay, ON are Metrolinx, Porter Airlines and Ontario Northland, but be sure to check what they have to offer!
