Why Fly to Windsor, Canada (Ontario)?
Windsor Airport (YQG) connects to Toronto with Air Canada Express. Most visitors use the Ambassador Bridge or Detroit–Windsor Tunnel to cross from Detroit (DTW, 5km) rather than flying into YQG directly. Windsor is an ideal base for visiting Point Pelee National Park (bird migration, May and September), the Pelee Island ferry (wine country), and the Ojibway Prairie Complex (tallgrass prairie). YQG is primarily used by local business travelers and residents connecting to Toronto or beyond.

Fly Mid-Week (Tue–Wed)

Most Visitors Drive from Detroit (DTW) — 10 Minutes

Visit Point Pelee in May — North America’s Best Birding
Point Pelee National Park in May (particularly the first two weeks) is one of the world’s great birding events — when millions of warblers, vireos, and flycatchers concentrate at the point before crossing Lake Erie, creating a birding spectacle comparable to the best in North America. Book accommodation in Leamington (the nearest town) 3–6 months ahead — the Festival of Birds (first two weeks of May) fills every room within 50km.
