London International Airport

London, Canada · North America

Southwestern Ontario’s ‘easy and comfortable’ single-terminal airport with clear cashless parking rates, London Transit service, Uber/Lyft, and solid On the Fly / YXU Market dining — but no Priority Pass lounge on research day. Do not confuse with London Heathrow (LHR).
