One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: YXU to a student residence at Western, the terminal to the VIA station on York Street, the airport to a downtown hotel. For an arrival, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pickup around the real landing time. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pickup rules.
Round-Trip Service
Round-Trip Service books both directions in one reservation: from YXU to your hotel near RBC Place when you land, and back to the terminal when the conference or the campus visit is over. On a route this short, the return is easy to forget until the last day. With both directions in one booking, the return is secured from the start; you set both pickup times yourself, and the confirmation lists them.
Hourly Service
Hourly service keeps one chauffeur and one vehicle with you for a set number of hours. When you book, you set the start at YXU, the final address and the hours you need, and you add the day's plan to the reservation so the chauffeur has it before your flight lands. It suits an arrival day with appointments, not a straight run to one hotel.

London International Airport to London: Route and Drive Time

YXU lies in the north-east part of London. The distance to downtown is 11 km, about 15–20 minutes by car, which leaves time to drop bags at a hotel and still reach an afternoon meeting.

The last part of the trip depends on where you stay. Downtown, the hotels sit close to the convention centre and the train station, while the university says its main Western campus is a drive of roughly 10 minutes north of the core.

Journey times vary with traffic and weather. In September, when the Western Fair and the start of term bring extra visitors to the city, allow a little more time.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London International Airport

YXU recorded 297,822 passengers and 112,009 aircraft movements in 2025. Travellers arrive in a single main terminal building, renovated and enlarged in 2003, so the flight number alone is enough to plan the meeting.

For arrivals, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pickup around the real landing time. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pickup rules.

Flights come in from Calgary with WestJet and from Toronto Pearson with Air Canada Express, and in winter WestJet, Air Transat and Porter bring travellers home from the sun. If you connect through Pearson, a delay there shifts your landing in London, and the pickup moves with it.

Arriving at Your Address in London

RBC Place London, at 300 York Street, hosts the city's conferences in about 86,500 sq ft of event space. Its King Street Ballroom, 12,300 sq ft, opened on 1 October 2025 and is joined to the main centre by a raised pedway, so delegates staying nearby can walk between sessions.

On the Western grounds, residences, faculty offices and Western Alumni Stadium sit well apart. Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. For a residence, add the building name as well.

If a train is your next leg, London's VIA station stands on York Street at the corner of Clarence, a short walk from RBC Place.

From London Back to London International Airport

The way back is just as short: 11 km to the terminal, 15–20 minutes. You set the pickup time yourself, and the confirmation shows it. Arrivals and departures share the one terminal building, so there is no choice to make on the way in.

The calendar matters more than the distance. On Homecoming weekend at Western, in late September, reunions and the Mustangs football game at Western Alumni Stadium fill the streets around campus, and a pickup from a residence needs a wider margin. For an early flight, set the time from the check-in deadline your airline gives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your airport transfer with Bookinglane.

Can my pet travel with me from London airport to London?

Yes, if you select the pet option when booking. All pets must be in a crate or carrier.

Can I ask for a quiet ride from London airport to London?

A quiet ride can be selected in the booking form.

My flight into London airport is late: does the pickup for London still work?

Yes. The chauffeur follows your flight, so the pickup follows the actual landing. Complimentary waiting time is included with airport pickups and is counted from the actual landing, which leaves room for customs and baggage claim.

Can the car take me straight to a residence at Western?

Yes. Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. On campus, add the residence or building name, since the buildings are spread out.

Can a whole conference delegation travel from YXU to RBC Place together?

Yes. Up to 12 delegates and their luggage fit in one Sprinter van; a bigger delegation rides in a coach of up to 56 seats. If delegates land on several flights, every arrival gets a transfer of its own.

What do you need to know about London International Airport in 2026–2027?

From 12 April 2027, Porter plans to link YXU all year with Ottawa, Halifax, Vancouver and Montréal–Metropolitan, and Edmonton follows on 6 May 2027. Western's Homecoming 2027 is set for 24–26 September.
