There are many convenient ways to travel to Hamilton. Toronto Pearson International (YYZ) offers the most flights, and is conveniently located approximately 75 kilometers from Hamilton. Alternatively, a number of international flights land at Hamilton's John C. Munroe International Airport (YHM) and Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) (approximately 150 km from Hamilton). Although flights to Buffalo airport may be less expensive than Toronto, ground transportation to Hamilton may be more costly, and traffic crossing the border may result in long delays.
Shuttle bus service to and from Pearson airport has been arranged through Airways Transit at a special conference rate of $59 (taxes included) per person. Please use conference code CEMI2018 when making your reservation. Private cars and drivers can be reserved through Hamilton Limo beginning at $139 for two passengers. Major car rental firms are located at all airports.
