    About the North York to Buffalo Airport trip

    North York residents often check BUF fares against Pearson for US trips, and a private car turns the cross-border drive into one ride. It's about 112 miles (181 km) from Yonge and Sheppard to the BUF terminal, with a border crossing on the way.

    Your driver meets you at home, a hotel or the office, whether that's Willowdale, Don Mills, York Mills or Bayview Village, and takes the 401 west to the 427 and the QEW, or down to the Gardiner, then around the lake to Niagara. Expect about 2 hours 20 minutes of driving plus the border; we time the pickup from your flight.

    Many North York pickups are condo towers along Yonge Street; tell us the building entrance or concierge instructions.

    Planned around the 401

    We time the pickup so the busiest stretch of highway costs you as little as possible.

    No airport parking

    No car to leave in a BUF lot while you're away, and no shuttle from the far lots.

    Border handled

    Your driver makes this crossing regularly and picks the bridge based on the posted waits.

    Route and timing

    • The 401 through North York is one of the busiest highways in North America, so the pickup time is planned around it; off-peak, the drive is much quicker.
    • We check live border wait times before your pickup; both US CBP and Canada's CBSA publish them.
    • 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

    • Leaving North York on the QEW, your driver can cross at the Peace Bridge in Fort Erie or take Hwy 405 to the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge. The choice depends on the posted waits that day.
    • Have everyone's documents in hand as you approach the booth; the officer checks each traveller in the vehicle. After that, BUF is a regular domestic airport for US flights.
    • On the North York 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 North York 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
