One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to Union Station for a VIA train, YWG to a hotel at The Forks, or St. Boniface to your departing flight. 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 keeps your arrival and your departure in a single reservation: from YWG on landing to a hotel linked to the Walkway, then returning to the one terminal on the day you fly out. In February, with snow in the forecast and the festival in town, the return is already arranged. Both rides belong to one booking, so nothing is left to sort out later; 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 YWG, 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.

Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport to Winnipeg: Route and Drive Time

The terminal at 2000 Wellington Avenue is only 6 km from downtown, and on a normal day the drive takes 10–15 minutes, short enough for a delegate landing in the morning to reach a first session.

The last part of the ride depends on the address. The RBC Convention Centre is joined by a skywalk across St. Mary Avenue to the Winnipeg Walkway, the indoor network that reaches Cityplace, the Canada Life Centre and the Delta hotel. Nearby, The Forks holds Union Station and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, while St. Boniface hosts the Festival du Voyageur each February.

Journey times vary with traffic and weather. A snowstorm in deep winter can stretch even this short run.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport

Winnipeg Richardson has one terminal building, opened in 2011, and it serves domestic, international and US flights alike, so you never need to pick a terminal. Passengers from abroad clear Canadian customs and pick up their bags before they reach the public area.

With your flight number in the booking, 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.

For the trip home, note that YWG is a preclearance airport. With US preclearance, you clear US customs before boarding a flight to the US.

Arriving at Your Address in Winnipeg

Some downtown hotels connect to the Winnipeg Walkway, so tell us which street entrance suits you rather than only the hotel name. For the RBC Convention Centre, whose 131,000 sq ft exhibit hall is on the third floor, give the entrance named by the organizers.

At The Forks, Union Station stands at 123 Main Street and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights at 85 Israel Asper Way; either can be the end of an airport transfer. Send the full address with your booking; the confirmation then tells you where the car will stop.

From Winnipeg Back to Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport

From downtown, the run back to the terminal is 10–15 minutes, so the length of the drive is rarely the issue; snow and ice are. You set the pickup time yourself, and the confirmation shows it. On a February morning after a storm, build in a margin.

Every flight leaves from the same building. If you fly to the US, preclearance happens inside the terminal before boarding, so allow time for it after check-in.

Two events crowd the city: the Festival du Voyageur in St. Boniface in February, and Folklorama, with cultural pavilions across Winnipeg for two weeks in August.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

I have golf bags or other bulky items: how do I book the ride from Winnipeg airport to Winnipeg?

Enter the number of bags in the booking form; for golf bags, bikes, skis or other bulky items, tell support so the vehicle is matched to the load. A Sprinter van carries up to 12 passengers with their luggage.

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

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 Winnipeg airport to Winnipeg?

A quiet ride can be selected in the booking form.

My hotel is on the Winnipeg Walkway. Which address should I give?

Give the street address and the entrance you plan to use, not only the hotel name: the Walkway links several buildings indoors, including Cityplace, the Canada Life Centre and the Delta hotel, so one complex can open onto several streets.

Can you drive us from the airport to Grand Forks in the US?

Yes. Grand Forks, North Dakota, is about 240 km from YWG through the Emerson–Pembina crossing, with the same chauffeur and car from start to finish, with no change of vehicle at the border. Carry the travel documents your nationality and itinerary require.

What do you need to know about Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport in 2026–2027?

The airport keeps US preclearance in its single terminal, so flights to the US are cleared before boarding. In St. Boniface, the Festival du Voyageur returns in February 2027, and Folklorama comes back in August.
