    About the Oakville to Buffalo Airport trip

    Getting from Oakville to Buffalo Niagara International Airport means about 84 miles (136 km) of driving and a border crossing. Oakville travellers often compare BUF with Pearson and Hamilton for US flights, and the QEW makes Buffalo an easy run.

    Your driver meets you at home, a hotel or the office, whether that's Bronte Village, Glen Abbey, Joshua Creek or River Oaks, and takes the QEW, which runs right through Oakville, around the lake to Niagara. Expect about 1 hour 45 minutes of driving plus the border; we time the pickup from your flight.

    Because Oakville is right on the QEW, most of the drive time is the run around the lake and the border itself.

    Right on the QEW

    From most Oakville addresses you're on the main highway in minutes, so there's no detour.

    No airport parking

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

    Room for luggage

    Choose an SUV if you're travelling with large suitcases, golf bags or skis.

    Route and timing

    • Oakville sits on the QEW, so you're on the main route within minutes. Weekday rush hour through Oakville and Burlington is the thing to plan around.
    • Holiday weekends in either country, and summer Friday afternoons, usually mean longer bridge lines. Tell us if you're travelling then.
    • From the border to the terminal is a short highway run; in winter we add time for lake-effect snow around Buffalo.

    Border crossing, passports & NEXUS

    • There are two good crossings between Oakville and Buffalo: the Peace Bridge at Fort Erie, and the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge at the end of Hwy 405. Your driver checks the waits and picks one.
    • You clear US entry at the bridge, not at the airport, so a flight within the US is simply a domestic departure from BUF.
    • On the Oakville 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 Oakville 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
