My son will be flying to Miami from Winnipeg, via Chicago. His connection time is a bit tighter than I would be comfortable with. Is there a US Customs pre-clearance at Winnipeg Airport? He'll be flying United. Thank you.

check out Winnipeg airport website - www.waa.ca - they give list of phone numbers for information - couldnt see anything on the website re pre-clearance so you should give them a call - I know there is one in Toronto but have never flown out of W'peg.

Thank you, xxx.<BR><BR>Using the website you posted, I e-mailed the airport directly and just got the response. In Winnipeg, passengers do go through US Customs after check-in.

If your son has a passport, I urge him to take it because it will make getting past the immigration control officer much easier. All I did in Calgary was show it and go on my way.<BR><BR>If he does not have a passport, then a birth certificate and a picture ID, government issued, is the next best documentation.<BR><BR>If he has neither, then he may have trouble getting there in the first place because the air line ticket agents will ask for documentation before issuing a boarding pass.
