Toronto City Centre Airport (CYTZ) is located on an island off the harbourfront, with a traffic pattern offering views of downtown Toronto. Sightseeing flights to Niagara Falls are about 1,5 hours (return).

Absolutely amazing airport, location unlike any other I've seen.

Island Air Flight School (http://www.flyislandair.net) offers scenic flights, charter and training.

Where to park and how to get there:
Park at Green P lot 302, 545 Lake Shore Boulevard West (24 CAD / 24 hours), and walk through tunnel to FBO.

Or use scheduled ferry service to town - runs every 15 minutes (pedestrians are free, vehicles 15 CAD plus parking fee near terminal 38 CAD / 24 hours). The trip takes 90 seconds.
