Plan this exact trip
Treat the train arrival, border, and DTW flight as one connection
A workable pickup begins when the passenger can leave the platform with luggage. It then accounts for station access, U.S. inspection, the airport drive, the correct departure terminal, and the traveller's selected airline check-in margin.
Pickup
Send the train and flight details
Provide the VIA train number, scheduled arrival, airline, flight number, DTW departure, passengers, luggage, and a reachable mobile number.
On the way
Confirm the station and border handoff
Use the pickup instructions confirmed for 298 Walker Road, Windsor, Ontario. Dispatch reviews the crossing for the actual passenger-ready time rather than the timetable alone.
Arrival
Arrive at the correct DTW terminal
The drop-off plan uses the current airline assignment at McNamara or Evans Terminal. Passengers should independently verify airline, identification, baggage, security, and boarding requirements.
Compare the whole trip
Why this trip needs more than a ride request
A cross-border booking has to hold together from pickup to border to arrival. Compare the details that affect whether the trip remains workable when timing changes.
