Information for attendees on travel, accommodations, and the QISS 2022 Code of Conduct
Travel to London
The local airport code is YXU (London, Ontario, Canada). It can sometimes be less expensive to fly into either Toronto or Detroit, then take ground transit to London. An airport shuttle van (Robert Q) runs from either airport, and a train (Via Rail) goes from Toronto to London.
