What to Know Before You Go
You’ve booked the flight. The bags are almost packed. Now there’s one more question:
How are you getting to the airport?
For travellers living outside Winnipeg, getting to Winnipeg Richardson International Airport (YWG) can be a trip of its own. Driving yourself means navigating city traffic, finding parking and leaving your vehicle behind while you’re away. Asking family or friends often means asking someone to make the trip twice.
Pre-arranging airport transportation can make the beginning — and end — of your trip much simpler.
Here are a few things to consider before you travel.
Book Your Airport Transportation Early
As soon as you know your flight details, it’s a good idea to start thinking about transportation.
This is particularly important during busy travel periods, school breaks, holidays and snowbird season, as well as for very early morning or late-night flights.
When booking with Southeast Shuttle, provide accurate flight information so your transportation can be planned around your travel schedule.
Give Yourself Enough Time
Your pickup time needs to account for more than just the drive to Winnipeg.
Airport check-in, security screening, weather, road conditions and traffic can all affect how much time you’ll need.
Southeast Shuttle can help plan an appropriate pickup time based on the information you provide, but passengers should always follow their airline’s recommendations for airport arrival.
Tell Us About Your Luggage
Suitcases have an impressive ability to multiply immediately before a vacation.
Let us know how many people are travelling and approximately how much luggage you’ll have when you book. Golf clubs, oversized bags, mobility equipment and other larger items should also be mentioned ahead of time.
That helps us ensure the appropriate vehicle and available cargo space are planned for your trip.
Travelling Together? You May Not Need Separate Rides
Families and groups travelling on the same itinerary can often travel together in one vehicle, depending on passenger and luggage capacity.
Southeast Shuttle’s standard transportation fares are generally priced per vehicle rather than per individual passenger, so travelling together can be both convenient and straightforward.
Early Morning and Overnight Travel
Flights don’t always operate on a convenient schedule.
Southeast Shuttle offers pre-arranged transportation at a variety of times to accommodate travel plans, subject to vehicle and driver availability.
Advance booking is especially important for overnight and early-morning transportation. Applicable overnight service fees are disclosed when relevant.
Don’t Forget the Ride Home
There’s nothing quite like landing after a long travel day and realizing you still have to figure out how you’re getting home.
Whenever possible, arrange your return transportation when you book your outbound trip.
Then when your vacation or business trip is over, your transportation home is already part of the plan.
