Coming from California, what is the nearest US airport to Winnipeg Canada?

Question

It is going to cost a family of 3 around $2900 to fly direct from Sacramento to Winnipeg this labor day weekend so the only option I have is to fly somewhere and then drive to Winnipeg.

Answer 1

I researched airlines flying to close American cities to Winnipeg- most times it is as much to if not more to fly to them. If you include gas you don't save anything. The cheapest I could find was for you to fly into Regina Saskatchewan- it brings it down slightly to 2370.54(US) and then it is about 6 1/2 hours drive- 572km, 355 miles to Winnipeg

Answer 2

Grand Forks or Fargo North Dakota would be your closest american airport to Winnipeg.  The drive from Grand Forks would be about 2.5 hours straight north one highway  

Good luck.  

Answer 3

If you are coming from Sacramento, price out how much it will cost to fly to Minneapolis.  That is the largest American airport near, and most people fly there to come up to Canada.  There are also smaller flighter to go to International Falls and then up through Fort Frances ON and take the TransCanada west to Winnipeg.  Or, some smaller flights also go to Fargo and you can drive up to Winnipeg that way.

Have a safe trip!

Answer 4

I understand you want to fly direct...but flying with transfers will save you around  $1000.

Answer 5

Fargo, Grand Forks, Miniapolis

Answer 6

Grand Forks, North Dakota   or Fargo,    

The best bargain is flying to Minneapolis MSP, and driving about 6-7 hours I-94 West to I-29 North

Answer 7

Try United Airlines from Sacramento. I just checked and for 3 passengers it would be $2067.30. Try expedia.com or united airlines!

Keep in mind that prices and availability are based on live inventory and can change at any time!

Good luck :)
