Airport meet & greet at Ottawa (YOW)

No cost to inquire. We confirm exact meeting point and timing for your flight before you book.
Know before you land
At Ottawa's Macdonald–Cartier terminal, international and U.S. arrivals clear CBSA customs and immigration before collecting baggage, while domestic passengers exit near gate 17 straight to the same Level 1 baggage claim. It's one building, but the two arrival paths only merge after customs.
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.
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.
