March break travel filling YOW parking lots

The Ottawa Airport parking facilities are approaching capacity because of March Break travel.

Travellers should consider alternative arrangements when getting to and from YOW in the coming days.

Passengers should consider using public transportation, taxis or ridesharing (Uber/Lyft), or getting dropped off or picked up.

If picking up a passenger, drivers should wait in the Cell Phone Lot, a free parking area located seconds from the terminal. When the passenger arrives and sends the driver a mobile message that they are ready, the driver can proceed to the curb to the Arrivals pick them up.

Please note that online parking reservation is limited – many dates in March are sold out.
