Charter Bus Transfers at Canadian Airports

Sixteen airports, from Toronto Pearson to London International. Each page says where a charter bus meets the group, where it waits and how long the drive into town takes.

No two airports load a bus the same way

At Pearson, the Groundside Traffic Officer calls a charter bus forward once the group reaches the Arrivals Level curb. At YVR, drivers check in at the Commercial Vehicle Holding Area, and each trip must be registered at least 60 minutes before pick-up. Calgary has 38 bus bays on the Arrivals level. At Montréal-Trudeau, a chartered bus may not wait at Door 7; it holds in a designated area until the group is ready.

What the operator needs from you

Flight numbers, landing times and a headcount. Say how many bags each person has, because a hold full of ski bags or suitcases can mean a bigger coach. If passengers land on different flights, list them all.

Questions

Can the bus wait at the curb?

Usually not. Most airports keep curbs for active loading and send waiting vehicles to a holding area or cell phone lot.

Does the operator need airport permission?

At several airports, yes. Pearson, YVR, Ottawa and Winnipeg require registration or a licence for pre-arranged pick-ups. The operator arranges it.

Can the return flight go on the same booking?

Yes. Add the departure to the request and both legs are priced together.
