Airport meet & greet at Kelowna (YLW)

A private greeter meets you at YLW, handles your bags, and drives you to your next stop — the same person, gate to destination.

No cost to inquire. We confirm exact meeting point and timing for your flight before you book.

What to expect at YLW

Know before you land

Kelowna is the busiest Canadian airport by passenger traffic without U.S. preclearance, so every arriving international or U.S. flight clears CBSA customs on landing rather than before departure. The terminal handles this with one of its baggage carousels cordoned off specifically for those arrivals.

01

Domestic Arrivals

Your Urban G8 greeter will meet you as close to your arrival gate as airport regulations allow. Your exact meeting point is confirmed in advance, so you know exactly where to go the moment you arrive.

02

International Arrivals

After clearing customs and immigration, your Urban G8 greeter will be waiting at the first authorized meeting point to personally assist you with the next step of your journey.
