About the Niagara-on-the-Lake to Buffalo Airport trip
Getting from Niagara-on-the-Lake to Buffalo Niagara International Airport means about 39 miles (63 km) of driving and a border crossing. BUF is the closest major airport to Niagara-on-the-Lake, which is why so many wedding guests and theatre visitors fly into Buffalo.
Pickups can be from the Old Town on Queen Street, inns and B&Bs in the Old Town, wineries along Niagara Stone Road and the Niagara Parkway or Virgil, or any other Niagara-on-the-Lake address. From there it's a few minutes south to the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge, then I-190 to BUF: about 1 hour 5 minutes of driving before the border, so we plan backward from your departure time.
The Lewiston-Queenston Bridge lands at Queenston, at the southern edge of the town, so the border is just minutes from most pickups.
Bridge on the doorstep
Lewiston-Queenston is minutes from the Old Town, so the drive to BUF is short.
One driver to the curb
The same driver from your door to the BUF departures curb, with no transfers.
Planned around your flight
We set the pickup from your departure time: drive time, a buffer and the airline's check-in window.

Route and timing
- Niagara-on-the-Lake is next to the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge, so the drive is short; Queen Street itself is slow on summer weekends.
- Long weekends and school holidays bring longer lines at the Niagara bridges, so we add extra time on those dates.
- Once you're across, BUF is a short drive east of the city. We still build in a cushion so you reach check-in without rushing.
Border crossing, passports & NEXUS
- Hwy 405 leads straight to the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge, usually the most direct crossing from Niagara-on-the-Lake. If its line is long, the Peace Bridge at Fort Erie is the alternative.
- US Customs and Border Protection inspects everyone in the vehicle at the bridge. Once you're through, there's nothing more to clear at BUF for a US flight.
- On the Niagara-on-the-Lake to Buffalo Airport trip, every traveller needs a document the US accepts at land crossings, such as a passport, a NEXUS card, or an enhanced driver's licence for eligible US and Canadian citizens. Canadian and US citizen children under 16 can show a birth certificate.
- The NEXUS lane can only be used when every person in the vehicle, including the driver, is a NEXUS member; otherwise we time your Niagara-on-the-Lake pickup for the regular lanes.
Requirements depend on citizenship and age. Check the official guidance before you travel: US CBP (entering the US) · CBSA (entering Canada) · Live border wait times
