We're flying from Kelowna, BC to MCO on Nov 27th. We're flying west jet, changing planes in Winnipeg. The flight WS 1336 is direct from Winnipeg to Orlando. Where would I go through US customs? Winnipeg or Orlando? please help - I just want to be prepared flying with 3 kids....
You will go through customs when you arrive in Orlando; coming home, you will go through customs in the first canadian city you arrive in (please correct me if I am wrong - this is what I remember from our trip)
You would clear customs in Winnipeg. I'm in Winnipeg and we always clear here unless traveling to a different Canadian city first.
we flew Ottawa to Washington to Orlando on way down - cleared customs in Ottawa, as we were entering US right away. ; On return trip, we flew Orlando to Charlotte to Ottawa. Cleared customs in Ottawa as that was where we entered Canada. Best, S
You should clear US customs in Winnipeg and then when you return to Canada the first Canadian City you land at will be your Canadian customs visit. ;
Oh just a heads up .. Winnipeg is a very bad area for landing and taking off, its always a windy city so you get a lot of bumps while on the plane. I landed once from T.O to Calgary and we hit the runway so hard my tailbone was sore for 3 days. I am surprised you were unable to find a flight from Vancity... anyhow don't want to scare you, I just like to know things when flying that way i don't think the plane is going to crash (I am a BIG baby when it comes to flying)
Winnipeg is my home airport and it can be bumpy the odd time. ; It is a nice little airport (soon to be much larger when the new terminal opens next year). ; You will clear customs in Winnipeg. ; Nice and quick though...they are the friendliest "Americans" around!!
