    From outside the N-American continent: Fly to Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (aka YUL)- formerly known as Montreal-Dorval - and rent a car at the airport. From there it is about 2 hours to get to Ottawa (highway 40 & 417). You will avoid a change of planes at the busy Toronto or Montreal airport and save traveltime.

    The disadvantage of going by car is that the road conditions on the 417 highway may vary; especial the road conditions at the Quebec side can be different in wintertime.

    Travel by Air: Great airport
  • Tip Rating:
  • Great airport and most airlines come here. Come by bus, train, automobile. Yatch ( from Kingston via the Rideau Canal). I came in my new HONDA ACCORD along highway 40 then 417 from Joliette Quebec and continued on 417 ( The Trans Canada Highway all the way to Vancouver.)
    Bus or auto.

    Travel by Air: Flying to Ottawa
    For my latest trip to Ottawa I flew CanJet, a "no-frills" airline that services about 10 cities in Eastern Canada. It's similar to other discount airlines within Canada, and I had no complaints about the flight or the service. From Halifax, flying to Ottawa only takes an hour and a half so it's a very short and easy trip to make.
    The airport is located about 30 mins. outside downtown Ottawa but is easily accessible from all areas of the city.

    Travel by Air: Mcdonald-Cartier Airport - YOW
    Ottawa's International Airport is located south of the city. The new terminal which opened last year makes the airport comparable to others throughout the world.

    With lots of domestic and international flights the airport is busy year round. The best way to get into the city from the airport is hopping on the OC bus #97. Should get you into downtown in about 30 minutes.

    Check the airport website for more information.

    Travel by Air: Take a ride in a hot air balloon!
    You can hire a hot air balloon elsewhere than the Gatineau Hot Air Balloon festival, but there should be plenty of opportunities there! Here's another picture from the hot air balloon festival in 1993. The mass lift-off of balloons to the sound of "Ride of the Valkyries" is very impressive!

    03-17-08 - The Ottawa Airport is approximately $30 in a cab from down town Ottawa so that is reasonable. I like the Ottawa airport, it is small, easy to navigate and has a new modernistic look and feel to it.

    There is generally a fair line going through security and lately there are no liquids permitted through security. This is disappointing in Ottawa because I seen a buster juice franchise but it is outside of security so if you get a drink you have to drink it before you go through security. It would be good on arrival I guess, you would just have to go look for it. Small disappointment, lol.

    There is a Tim Horton's both inside and outside security. What else is there about the Ottawa airport? Hmmm. They make a nice use of waterfalls throughout the airport making for a relaxing environment probably helping with air rage I guess?

    All round a nice airport.
